RESUMEN
We experienced an ossified subdural hematoma (OSDH), which is an extremely rare form of chronic subdural hematoma (SDH), in the dominant hemisphere of a 35-year-old woman. She presented to our outpatient clinic with a complaint of a headache; she had previously experienced a head injury while she was pregnant. We performed surgery with extreme caution because the lesion was attached to the surrounding tissue. Since an OSDH is an extremely rare form of chronic SDH, neurosurgeons might not experienced them during their daily practice. Additionally, head injuries received during pregnancy should be taken seriously, and after delivery, the patient should undergo cranial computed tomography, even if she is asymptomatic.
