A 42-year-old man is trapped from the waist down beneath his overturned tractor for several hours before medical assistance arrives. He is awake and alert until just before arriving in the ED. He is now unconscious and responds only to painful stimuli by moaning. His pupils are 3mm in diameter and symmetrically reactive to light. Prehospital personnel indicate that they have not seen the patient move either of his lower extremities. On examination in the ED, no movement of his lower extremities are detected, even in response to painful stimuli. The most likely cause
for this finding is:
- An epidural hematoma
