Intracranial Motion

Intracranial motion refers to the movement of the brain within the skull. While small shifts are normal due to activities like heartbeat, breathing, or changes in head position, excessive or abnormal movement can indicate injury, swelling, or intracranial pressure issues. Medical imaging and monitoring help assess these movements to diagnose and manage brain health. Understanding intracranial motion is essential because the brain is a delicate organ, and even minor shifts can impact function or signal underlying problems requiring medical attention.
