Abstract
BACKGROUND: Chronic subdural hematoma is a frequently clinical common problem encountered in neurosurgery practice. Nevertheless, ossified chronic subdural hematoma is extremely rare, especially in children. CASE DESCRIPTION: Here we report a case of ossified chronic subdural hematoma in a 7-year-old female child, with a literature review. CONCLUSIONS: Because of its infrequency and variable clinical manifestation, ossified chronic subdural hematoma should be considered and included in the differential diagnosis when we encounter an intracranial placeholder.
