Anamnesis

A 54-year-old male was hit by a vehicle, resulting in a decreased level of consciousness (GCS 9). Upon regaining consciousness, he presented with a diffuse pulsatile headache. A CT scan showed a frontal contusion. The headache began within the first 24 hours after the trauma and has persisted for more than 1 week.
