This case involved the elderly woman with alcoholic cirrhosis and periodontal disease who developed suppurative spondylitis, multiple abscesses, and multi-organ failure. Although she initially improved following intensive care treatment, she developed calcification of both the myocardium and the cranial dura mater on day 70. Post-septic dural calcification has not been previously reported, and this case represents the first such report. As a hypothesis regarding the mechanism of onset, it is presumed that the effects of sepsis extended to the dura mater, and that abnormal calcification of the dura mater progressed due to the effects of various therapeutic interventions. These findings were limited to imaging results and had no clinical implications. This unique case adds a new cause to the list of known etiologies for cranial dural calcification.
