The brain suffers traumatic injury which causes swelling or bleeding, increasing intracranial pressure within the rigid cranium where there is no room for expansion. This rising pressure constricts blood vessels in the brain, reducing blood flow and oxygen, potentially leading to herniation and ultimately brain death if pressure continues unchecked.
