I will look into this a bit further, but await comments from other colleagues..

Here is a bit more info:

Subdural haematomas (SDH)

With a subdural haematoma, bleeding is confined to the area between the dura and the arachnoid membrane. A subarachnoid haemorrhage involves bleeding into the space between the surface of the brain and the arachnoid membrane that lies just above the surface of the brain, usually resulting from a tear in a blood vessel on the surface of the brain. Most of the time, subdural haematomas occur around the tops and sides of the frontal and parietal lobes.
Generally, acute SDHs are less than 72 hours old and are hyperdense compared with the brain on CT scan. Subacute SDHs are 3-20 days old and are isodense or hypodense compared with the brain. Chronic SDHs are 21 days (3 wk) or older and are hypodense compared with the brain. However, SDHs may be mixed in nature, such as when acute bleeding has occurred into a chronic SDH. Acute SDHs have been reported to occur in 5-25% of patients with severe head injuries, depending on the study. Chronic SDH has been reported to be 1-5.3 cases per 100,000 people per year. More recent studies have shown a higher incidence, probably because of better imaging techniques.
Unlike epidural haematomas, which cannot expand past the sutures of the skull, subdural haematomas can expand along the inside of the skull, creating a convex shape that follows the curve of the brain, stopping only at the dural reflections like the tentorium and falx cerebri.
Acute subdural haematomas that are due to trauma are the most lethal of all head injuries and have a high mortality rate if they are not rapidly treated with surgical decompression.

Here is the exact equivalent:

(I61.9) Intracerebral haemorrhage, unspecified

so

intracerebral haemorrhage

which is a fancy way of saying

bleeding in the brain itself

Literally

"cooking"


actual/developing/bona fide??

It would have been good of you to just put "estado de cocción" in the query, if that was your difficulty...I spent an age finding the equivalent of "encéfalo hemorrágico" which is not self-evident in the slightest :-)

Perhaps

Oh I see

the corpse was burnt...


so

I suppose

partially charred would be OK

although to me it is still "cooking" so has not actually reached the carbonised stage, if you'll pardon the expression..

"haemorrhagic brain" definitely sounds wrong :-)

The refs above show that the correct translation =

Abstract
Central sections of the brain of a severely charred, mortified cadaver showed extensive centers of hemorrhage which had partly ovular and partly slash forms. There was no doubt of the traumatic origin of the hemorrhage. Whether the origin occurred vitally or post-mortum, could only be established after reconstructing the case at the scene of the event and checking the testimonies of the firemen. The origin was traced back to the use of force during the recovery action made on the body.

severely charred/charred

intracerebral haemorrhage


that is about the best I can do..

Contact Lesions
The contact lesions (entry and exit) consist of three characteristic areas: a charred,
blackened center, a middle zone of grayish white coagulation necrosis, and a
periphery of partial tissue damage. These contact lesions are due to the increased
current density and subsequent local tissue heating at the points of entry and exit. If
the patient has contact with the current source over a wide area, either an exit or
entry point may be absent. The classic example is the patient who is standing in a
body of water when contacting the current source. Extensive electrothermal damage
at the entry and exit points indicates that there is significant current flow and
increased chances of subsequent deep tissue damage
