intracranial
Within the head
Intracranial means within the skull: intracranial pressure, intracranial bleeding.
The term appears almost exclusively in medical contexts, describing conditions, procedures, or structures inside the cranium.
An intracranial hemorrhage is bleeding within the skull cavity.
