A 28-year-old man had a bad fall when playing soccer. He does not lose consciousness. About 36 hours later, he develops a headache and confusion and is taken to the ED. On physical examination, he is conscious and a minor fracture is identified in the temporal area. You suspect that the patient has an intracranial hemorrhage, and send the patient to a radiologist for CT examination. Which of the following is the most likely location with the best explanation of the intracranial hemorrhage of this patient? Subdural hematoma due to rupture of bridging veins crossing the subdural space Epidural hematoma due to rupture of bridging veins crossing the subdural space Subdural hematoma due to rupture of middle meningeal artery Epidural hematoma, due to rupture of middle meningeal artery
