A Symptomatic Calcified Chronic Subdural Hematoma in an Elderly Patient: A Case Report

Calcified chronic subdural hematomas are rare forms of chronic subdural hematoma, accounting for 0.3-2.7%. Surgery is adequate for most chronic subdural hematomas, but its effectiveness is uncertain for calcified chronic subdural hematomas. In this case report, we illustrate a case of a 70-year-old male presenting with a motor function deficit in his left limbs over two months and neurological deterioration. A substantial calcified subdural collection was seen on computed tomography in the right parietal hemisphere. This was surgically removed with success and completeness. A chronic subdural hematoma has minimal possibility of becoming calcified. Because of the patient's condition's severity, surgery was the only remaining choice.

Abstract

Calcified chronic subdural hematomas are rare forms of chronic subdural hematoma, accounting for 0.3-2.7%. Surgery is adequate for most chronic subdural hematomas, but its effectiveness is uncertain for calcified chronic subdural hematomas. In this case report, we illustrate a case of a 70-year-old male presenting with a motor function deficit in his left limbs over two months and neurological deterioration. A substantial calcified subdural collection was seen on computed tomography in the right parietal hemisphere. This was surgically removed with success and completeness. A chronic subdural hematoma has minimal possibility of becoming calcified. Because of the patient's condition's severity, surgery was the only remaining choice.
