소아에서 뇌수두증의 단락술 이후 발생한 석회화된 만성 경막하 혈종 - 증례보고 -

초록

Post-shunting subdural hemorrhages are usually small and self-limited, and they can be recognized on the routine post-operative CT examinations. However, delayed subdural bleeding may occur without any clinical symptoms or signs. Thus the hematoma remains undetected, and it can be increased in size and sometimes become calcified with time. We experienced a case of 15-year-old male with a large calcified subdural hematoma who had undergone shunt operation 10 years previously. With pertinent review of the literatures, we discuss the possible mechanism of calcification and the proper way of treatment in calcified chronic subdural hematoma.
