Questions

This cаse аpplies tо this аnd the fоllоwing question. A 26-year-old male was brought by ambulance to the ER after having been in an automobile accident. During examination the patient was completely lucid-alert and oriented to person, place, and time. A CT scan showed a large, lens-shaped fluid collection along the inner surface of the left temporal and parietal bones. A fracture of the left temporal bone could also be seen. Some time later, after the CT scan was taken one of the nurses noted that the patient was some what agitated and had a decreased level of consciousness. Further examination revealed that the patient's left pupil was fixed and dilated and that the right arm and leg were weak with increased reflexes. What does the fixed dilated pupil on the left suggest?
