    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Radiology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Extradural cysts are rare postoperative complications arising from dural or arachnoidal tears.
    • Understanding their pathogenesis is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.

    Observation:

    • A case of a calcified extradural cyst is presented.
    • The cyst's formation mechanism, clinical impact, and radiographic characteristics are detailed.

    Findings:

    • Calcified extradural cysts present unique diagnostic challenges.
    • Computerized tomography (CT) plays a role in diagnosis, though its utility in specific circumstances requires consideration.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of recognizing extradural cysts in postoperative patients.
    • Further investigation into the diagnostic value of advanced imaging in such rare conditions is warranted.
