Abstract

We report a rare case of a rapidly calcified subdural hematoma (SDH) occurring 15 days after craniotomy in an adolescent. It suggests that calcification of a SDH may occur not only in the chronic stage but also in the subacute stage and may appear in subdural hematomas (SDHs) after craniotomy.

Keywords: Subdural hematoma; calcification; craniotomy; ossification.
