Right parietal scalp hematoma with underlying fracture diastasis of the right lambdoid suture and right petrous temporal bone fracture. The diastasis traverses the right transverse sinus and there is evidence of sinus hyperdensity and locules of intra- and extra-sinus gas. Trace left frontal subdural hematoma and small volume traumatic left frontal sulcal subarachnoid hemorrhage.
