Abstract

After suffering an accidental blow to the head during soccer, a 42-year old male presented with agitation, confused speech and variable dysphasia. CT-imaging revealed a depressed parietotemporal skull fracture with an associated epidural hematoma. The epidural hematoma was surgically evacuated. In this photo report CT- and clinical images of an impressive depressed skull fracture, with an associated linear fracture are demonstrated.
