The management of intracranial calcified subdural hematomas.

Calcified subdural hematomas are associated with signs and symptoms similar to those of chronic, uncalcified subdural hematomas. Those found incidentally or in patients with long-standing nonprogressive neurological deficits should be left alone. If a calcified subdural hematoma is discovered in the evaluation of a patient with an acute or a progressing neurological disorder, an operation should be considered.
