摘要
Bony metaplasia of the falx cerebri is rare in human being. We describe a case of extensive ossification involving anterior half of the falx cerebri in a 47-year-old male. This was detected incidentally during computed tomographic examination of the brain for an unrelated cause. The pattern of ossification as demonstrated in the computed tomography scan comprised of dense cortical bone peripherally with medullary bone in the centre resembling the skull vault.
