石灰化慢性硬膜下血腫の1成人例—その手術適応と術式についての検討

Calcified Chronic Subdural Hematoma:A case report in an old patient

I．はじめに

　石灰化慢性硬膜下血腫はさほど稀なものではないと思われているが，その多くは小児もしくは若年層にみられるもので，成人例におけるそれはいまだ報告は少ない．今回われわれは86歳という高齢者における石灰化慢性硬膜下血腫の1例を経験したので，若干の文献的考察を加えて報告する．

Calicified chronic subdural hematoma is a well-known disease to many neurosurgeons as it is diagnosed with only a plain skull X-ray film. Although several reports on this condition are seen, many of them are dealing with those in children or young people, and those in the aged are only few. One case of calcified chronic subdural hematoma in an old man is described.

An 86-year-old man with a sudden attack of left hemiparesis was admitted to the Kanto Rosai Hospital. Two years before, he had had a history of head injury on his right tomporal area, which caused no neurolo-gical dificit before this attack.
