We report a case of organized intracerebral hematoma caused by head injury and osteoplastic craniotomy for the hematoma removal. An organizing intracerebral hematoma is relatively rare complication. A 64-year-old male had had a history of explosive head injury and osteoplastic craniotomy and removal of the traumatic intracerebral hematoma. He complained of headache intermittently. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the brain revealed a heterogeneous round mass in the left frontal lobe and a metallic foreign body with artifact in the parietal lobe. We performed osteoplastic craniotomy and removal of the mass. The lesion was located in the left frontal lobe and removed totally. Histologic examination showed an encapsulated organized hematoma with reactive gliosis. We achieved good results.
