Lucid Interval = Trauma => Pt. looses consciousness momentarily => Period of 1-48 hours (lucid Phase) before Patients neurological condition again deteriorates.
Hence Lucid interval is the period where the Pt. is asymptomatic.

so if he didnt lose the consciousness momentarily we should not consider it as lucid interval??
coz i guess this is important to differentiate between epi/sub-dural hemorrhage ?
