  • Title: Calcified convexity dura mater and acute epidural haematoma mimicking calcified chronic subdural haematoma.
    Author: Miyagi Y, Morioka T, Kimura Y, Fukui M.
    Journal: Neuroradiology; 1995 Oct; 37(7):551-2. PubMed ID: 8570052.
    Abstract:
    We report a patient with calcification of the convexity dura mater and an acute epidural haematoma. CT revealed a calcified layer between the haematoma and brain parenchyma, which mimicked acute bleeding into a calcified chronic subdural haematoma. The appearance of a calcified haematoma does not always mean a "chronic" lesion, and that emergency operation should not be foregone, when there is a history of acute head trauma and progressive impairment of consciousness.
