Huge calcified epidural abscess--case report.
A 76-year-old female with an intracranial epidural abscess having a long history of about 30 years is presented. Craniogram, carotid angiogram, and computed tomographic scan showed a huge calcified lesion with hyperostosis at the right parietal region. The abscess appeared to have granulated and calcified due to long-lasting stagnation of the pus.
