description The authors present a case of a young girl affected by a syndromal hydrocephalus who developed a bilateral ossified chronic subdural hematoma with the typical radiological appearance of "the armored brain".

There is controversy in the treatment, but most published literature discourages a surgical intervention to remove the calcifications.
