The brain is one the most delicate organs of the human body and is therefore cased in a protective structure called the skull. A special fluid fills the space between the brain and the skull, which acts as a shock-absorbing layer for the brain. When a person suffers severe trauma to their head, this barrier may be affected, and blood may leak into this fluid space leading to clinical complications.
