Comminuted depressed fracture is noted involving left parietal bone at high vertex. It is associated with overlying soft tissue hematoma. The inner table of left parietal bone is displaced within the brain parenchyma resulting in few tiny intraparenchymal contusional hemorrhages associated with vasogenic edema.
