Chronic calcified subdural hematoma - case report of a rare diagnosis

Abstract

Introduction. Chronic calcified/ossified subdural hematoma is a rare diagnosis. The incidence of chronic calcified subdural hematoma is 0.3-2.7% of all chronic subdural hematomas. Surgical treatment is indicated in most cases, but there is still some controversy. Materials and Methods. We present a case report of 81-year-old woman with calcified chronic subdural hematoma. Patient underwent an osteoplastic left craniotomy, evacuation of chronic subdural mass with careful dissection andsuccessful removal of inner and outer membrane. Postoperative CT scan showed removal of subdural hematoma, decrease of left shift of median line and good brain re-expansion. Postoperative period was without any serious complications. Results. Subdural hematoma was successfully removed, resulting in a good recovery with complete resolution of patients symptoms. From our experience, we highly recommend surgical treatment in cases of chronic symptomatic calcified subdural hematomas.

Bone Within Bone as a Calcified Subdural Hematoma

“…Calcified subdural hematoma has been described as a case report. Around 114 case reports have been described in the literature [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. As per a systematic review of 114 cases reported in the literature, it has been found that the incidence of CSDH is high in certain countries, including the United States, Japan, and Turkey, with a steady increase in recent years [8].…”

“…In fact, all symptoms are almost the same as those of non-calcified CSDH. Most of the case reports have been described in children and the elderly [3][4][5][6][7]. In chronic cases of subdural hematoma (SDH), the incidence of calcification is much higher, and all symptomatic CSDH should be treated surgically [7].…”

“…Chronic subdural hematoma is not uncommon; however, calcified chronic subdural hematoma is extremely uncommon with an incidence about 0.3–2.7% of all cases of chronic subdural hematoma [ 1 ]. Generally, the conditions have more affected children than adults [ 2 ], but in this presentation, we presented this rare condition in an elderly patient.…”
