There is diffuse loss of gray-white matter differentiation involving both cerebral hemispheres, concerning for anoxic brain injury. There is associated effacement of the lateral ventricles and a leftward midline shift.
There is diffuse subarachnoid haemorrhage within the sulci of both cerebral hemispheres, most pronounced in the right cerebral hemisphere. There is also intraventricular haemorrhage within the right lateral ventricle and third ventricle.
There is a left temporal bone fracture extending through the left mastoid and left TMJ joint.
There is blood products in the left mastoid air cells. There is a trace right mastoid effusion.
