Answer:

Epidural Hematoma

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that the best answer for this description would be an Epidural Hematoma . This is caused from an arterial bleed, mainly the middle meningeal artery. This type of Hematoma progresses at a very rapid pace and causes massive neurologic deterioration as described in the question.
