Final answer:

Herniation syndrome is the result of increased intracranial pressure, which can cause severe damage to the brain tissues.

Step-by-step explanation:

Herniation syndrome is the result of increased intracranial pressure. Any swelling of the brain or meninges that results from inflammation can cause intracranial pressure, leading to severe damage of the brain tissues. Herniation syndrome occurs when there is pressure buildup in the brain, causing it to push outwards and compress surrounding structures.
