Ct scan post traumatic brain injury may show - extra dural or sub dural or intra cerebral hematoma.
Wat u have mentioned was intra cerebral indicating with injury with in the brain parenchyma.
Associated to that there is surrounding vasogenic edema in response to injury.
Concerning the site regarding fronto parietal region centers for speech are located. Wernicke's which deals with comprehension. And Broca's which is motor component which deals with speech production.
As there is vasogenic edema & contusions located at centers of speech there is difficulty in speaking.
As the contusions n edema decreases he will recover to a normal tone which might take wks to months.
