Answer: hemorrhagic

There is two type of stroke, hemorrhagic and ischemic. Ischemic happens when the blood vessel plugged and the brain tissue cannot get blood supply. The plug could be a distance thrombosis or atherosclerosis plaque.

The hemorrhagic stroke happens when the blood vessel damaged, makes the blood flow out into the brain. The blood will push the brain cells and increase the intracranial pressure.
