G06.0: Intracranial abscess and granuloma

You have an inflammatory change in your head.

There has been a change in your tissue due to an inflammation. Such changes may involve pus-filled cavities or papules made of inflammation cells. In your case the change is sited in your brain or in your head adjacent to your brain.

Changes like these can press on surrounding brain tissue. As a result, you can have headaches, vomiting or seizures, for example. There may also be other symptoms.
