Asymptomatic chronic ossified epidural hematoma in a child: a rare entity.

A 6-year-old boy presented with an asymptomatic ossified chronic epidural hematoma. He was neurologically intact and had no complaints. This is the first report with a computed tomography image of cerebral compression due to an asymptomatic ossified epidural hematoma. Computed tomography indicated an ossified epidural hematoma in the left frontal region. In children, surgery for asymptomatic ossified chronic epidural hematoma with significant cerebral compression should be considered to relieve cerebral compression and prevent possible future brain damage.
