Cranial Pressure
Cranial pressure refers to the pressure inside the skull, which houses the brain and other vital structures. This pressure is influenced by the volume of brain tissue, blood, and cerebrospinal fluid. Normal cranial pressure is essential for proper brain function, but when it increases, it can lead to serious health issues.
Elevated cranial pressure can result from various conditions, such as head injuries, brain tumors, or infections. Symptoms may include headaches, nausea, and changes in consciousness. Monitoring and managing cranial pressure is crucial to prevent potential damage to the brain and ensure overall health.
