I think the answer is e.........epidural hematoma; usu caused by rupture of the middle meningeal artery; and characterized by lucid intervals.

hi guys,
please, explain why
he loses consciousness and then recovers a few minutes and is asymptomatic for 12 hours but but then starts to get headache, etc
I,m confused with this
shouldn't he just loose consciousness after a while if it's epidural?
thanks
