the outer surface of the brain (Epidural hematoma): A 20-year-old
man presented with a brief loss of consciousness following a fall
from standing height. He had a brief period following the fall
where he was awake and seemed O.K. Then, he became progressively

structures of the brain. A lense-shaped white area on the CT is
consistent with an acute epidural hematoma is seen on the right
