The correct answer is  Ans. A. TachycardiaIntracranial pressure may increase due to brain tumors, masses of congenital origin and inflammatory disorders such as brain abscess, neurocysticercosis, tuberculoma and subdural fluid collection.

Heart rate slows, respiratory rate is altered and blood pressure rises to maintain the cerebral circulation. Persistent early morning headache, unexplained projectile vomiting, impaired vision, personality changes may also result.
