- right temporal, biconvex extra-axial hemorrhage (max. depth 15mm): EDH
- right temporo-occipital concavo-convex extra-axial hemorrhage (max. depth 4mm): SDH
- hyperdensity in the right cerebral sulcal spaces (most easily demonstrable in the sylvian fissure): SAH
- right temporal fracture (at the anterior margin of EDH)

- red arrow: EDH
- brown arrow shows how EDH respects the suture margins
- yellow arrow points at SAH

Case Discussion
The case demonstrates all three types of extra-axial hemorrhages: Extradural hemorrhage (EDH), Subdural hemorrhage (SDH) and Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).
