Koljusisesed

Koljusisesed is an Estonian medical term meaning "inside the skull" and is used as an attributive adjective to describe processes, conditions, or structures located within the cranial cavity. The word is formed from kolju, meaning skull, and the suffix -sised indicating location inside. It is used in medical texts to label intracranial phenomena as opposed to extracranial processes.

In clinical contexts koljusisesed conditions may involve brain tissue, meninges, blood vessels, or cerebrospinal fluid dynamics, and they often require imaging such as CT or MRI to determine location and extent. Management depends on the underlying cause and may include monitoring, medical therapy, or neurosurgical intervention to relieve pressure or treat lesions.

The term is part of standard Estonian medical vocabulary and is commonly found in clinical notes, radiology reports, and student texts when describing pathology or anatomy within the cranial cavity. See also intracranial pressure, intracranial hemorrhage, intracranial tumor.
