This case study presents a rare intracranial epidural abscess in a 76-year-old female, characterized by a large calcified lesion and hyperostosis. The findings highlight the potential for chronic abscesses to calcify over decades.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Radiology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Intracranial epidural abscesses are rare but serious infections.
  • Chronic abscesses may present with unusual imaging findings.

Observation:

  • A 76-year-old female patient with a 30-year history of symptoms.
  • Imaging revealed a large calcified lesion with hyperostosis in the right parietal region.
  • The lesion was consistent with a long-standing intracranial epidural abscess.

Findings:

  • The chronic stagnation of pus within the abscess led to granulation and calcification.
  • Radiological evidence of a calcified intracranial epidural abscess with associated hyperostosis.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering chronic infections in differential diagnoses.
  • Calcified intracranial epidural abscesses represent a unique pathological entity.
  • Long-term stagnation of pus can lead to significant pathological changes in the brain.
