right-sided fronto-temporo-parietal fracture ...
... and epidural haematoma secondary to depressed skull fracture?
not sure about the second half. If the patient suffered a skull fracture and is now being described as having an epidural haematoma, this sounds likely.

or is there some form of punctuation between \'enfoncement\' and \'hematome\'? That would make more sense.

right frontal-temporal-parietal fracture and epidural compression hematoma/haematoma
Sounds like something out of my neuropsych class this year ;-), and this also sounds like a pretty serious injury :-(.
As we all know, the brain has right and left hemispheres. Then the "fronto-temporo parietale" part is describing 3 parts of the brain over which the cranial fracture travels (parietal, temporal and frontal).
An epidural hematoma is a localized swelling of the dura mater (the outermost membrane covering of the brain and spinal cord, separated from them by a small space) filled with blood.
For "enfoncement" see:

depressed fronto-temporal parietal fracture with overlying epidural hematoma
I am assuming the fracture is depressed because you can not have a depressed hematoma. The junction of the parietal, fronto and temporal bone is an area you can have bleeding 2nd to the meningeal arteries, this bleeding could cause a hematoma in the epidural space overlying the fracture.
