(c) an acute, left-sided temporal extradural haematoma of 18 mm depth, with mild oedema but no midline shift.

(c) extracalvarial soft tissue swelling present over the left squamous temporal bone, which suggested that impact injury occurred within a period of five days or so of the scan;

(d) small, right-sided peri-retinal haemorrhage suspected, but that was later not confirmed in images and, therefore, it is important that I record that there were no abnormal ocular findings;
