Intracranial

Intracranial (from Latin intra - inside and cranium - skull) is a term denoting the location of structures or processes inside the skull.

The skull is a bony frame that surrounds and protects the brain and sense organs (eyes, ears, sense of smell). Thus, intracranial structures are primarily the brain with its parts (cerebral hemispheres, cerebellum, brain stem, etc.), as well as blood vessels and nerves inside the cranium.

Intracranial processes include various pathological conditions associated with the brain and surrounding tissues - inflammation, hemorrhage, tumors and others. For example, intracranial pressure, intracranial hemorrhage, intracranial infections.

Thus, the term "intracranial" is used to denote the anatomical location and pathological processes localized exclusively within the skull.

Intracranial is a term that refers to a location within the skull.

Intracranial structures include the brain, cerebellum, cerebrum, and blood vessels. They are protected by the skull and its bones, such as the scales of the temporal bone, the frontal and parietal bones.

The term "intracranial" is often used in medicine to describe conditions, processes, or structures found within the skull. For example, intracranial pressure, intracranial tumors, intracranial infections and intracranial hemorrhages. Increased intracranial pressure can lead to serious complications.

Intracranial structures and processes have important clinical significance. Understanding the anatomy and physiology inside the skull is critical for doctors and other healthcare professionals. Accurate diagnosis and treatment of many neurological and neurosurgical diseases depend on an understanding of intracranial structures and processes.

Intracranial, or intracranial, is a term that describes the anatomical structures and mechanisms that are located inside the human skull. Intracranial structures are important elements of the nervous system and also part of the anatomy of the brain.

The intracranial structure includes:

* Skull box; * The median line running down the middle of the head; * Large brain (neocortex), consisting of two hemispheres; * Corpus callosum, which connects the two hemispheres of the cerebrum; * The spherical zone, which is located between the parietal and occipital lobes of the cerebrum.

Also intracranial are the circulatory system, cerebral arteries and veins, cerebrospinal fluid connecting the brain
