That condition is called increased intracranial pressure (ICP). It can result from various causes such as head trauma, brain tumors, or bleeding in the brain, leading to symptoms like headache, vomiting, and altered consciousness. Immediate medical intervention is necessary to prevent potentially serious complications such as brain herniation.
