Brain computed tomography (CT) results demonstrated fractureline on right temporal bone and hypodense, edematous changes of the adjacent brain parenchyma on right cerebralparenchyma. Based on history, clinical signs, and diagnostic imaging findings, this patient was diagnosed to traumaticbrain injury. After diagnosis, the patient was well controlled with anti-inflammatory drug and anti-epileptic drugs.
