What causes intracranial space-occupying lesions?

Intracranial space-occupying lesions primarily involve pathological changes within the skull. These lesions generally exert pressure on surrounding normal brain tissue or normal intracranial structures, causing a certain degree of displacement of the original brain tissue. Intracranial tumors can lead to such space-occupying lesions; therefore, when diagnosed with an intracranial space-occupying lesion, it is essential to promptly visit a hospital to check for the presence of intracranial tumors. If an intracranial tumor is suspected, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used for evaluation.
