intracranially
Within the head
Intracranially means within the skull or cranial cavity.
The term appears in medical contexts describing procedures, conditions, or measurements inside the head: The tumor was growing intracranially.
Intracranial pressure, bleeding, or injection all refer to what happens within the bony enclosure protecting the brain.
