Abstract
We report two cases of chronic calcified and ossified subdural empyema diagnosed during surgery and operated on successfully using an extrao rdinary large osteoplastic craniotomy. After surveying the literature, we must emphasize the unusual occurrence of the chronic subdural empy emas presenting with calcification-ossification and large size as obse rved in both of our cases.
