Herniation through the cranium is called "brain herniation." This occurs when brain tissue shifts from its normal position due to increased intracranial pressure, often as a result of trauma, tumors, or swelling. The most common types of brain herniation include uncal herniation, tonsillar herniation, and central herniation. Each type can lead to severe neurological deficits and is considered a medical emergency.
