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

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.
