ABSTRACT
The author present a rare case of rapid ossification of epidural hematoma (EDH) in a 5-year-old boy. At admission, the computed tomography (CT) revealed an EDH on left temporoparietal region. On the follow-up CT scan doing 14 days after traffic accident, the expansion of the former hematoma was not visible, but the hematoma accompanied by the thin hyperdense layer on the dura. On follow-up CT scans, the hematoma was decreased but the ossified layer progressing. After 6 months of conservative therapy, the hematoma was fully absorbed and the ossified lesion merged to inner table of the skull. Hence, rapid ossification of an EDH should be considered in children and serial follow-up CT scans must be conducted.
