R90.0: Intracranial space-occupying lesion
A test on your brain has shown up changes that are pressing on other tissue.
The brain is protected from the cranial bone and therefore only has a limited amount of space. If changes in the head are very big, they take up a lot of room. As a result, other tissue can get compressed and the brain can become damaged.

- V: Tentative diagnosis
