Medical Conditions - Intracranial Pressure

The pressure exerted by cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which is present inside the skull, on the brain is called intracranial pressure. When this pressure is more than 15 mmHg, it is called intracranial hypertension. High intracranial hypertension symptoms are headache, nausea, high blood pressure, double vision, shallow breathing, coma, and loss of consciousness.
