The patient was admitted to the intensive care unit.


What is your diagnosis?

  • Epidural hematoma

  • Subdural hematoma

  • Subarachnoid hematoma

  • Intracerebral hemorrhage

@EveryoneThe fact that this patient had a lucid period and the appearance of the bleed with a convex/lens-shape hemorrhage indicates that this is more likely epidural hematoma as compared to concave/crescent shaped hemorrhage in subdural hematoma. Thank you @Nader Guma for your comment and images.
