    AbstractTwo cases of ossified epidural hematomas were reported. Patients were nine and twelve year-old boys. Initially they were both followed up conservatively after injuries. Subsequently they were found on CT scan to have calcifications in the capsules of epidural hematomas which were found four months after injury in one case and twelve days after injury in the other. Both underwent craniotomy and histological ossification was found in the capsules of the hematomas. Epidural hematomas in children are known to ossify, and this condition may prevent natural absorption of epidural hematomas. Therefore, careful follow up of hematomas seems to be mandatory on conservative therapy of epidural hematomas in children.
