Abstract
- Dural metastases originating from prostate cancer are exceedingly uncommon and may clinically imitate a subdural hematoma. Additionally, head computed tomography scan findings can be mistaken for meningioma or subdural hematoma. We present a 75-year-old male patient with dural metastasis as a first presenting sign of prostate cancer, misdiagnosed as a bilateral subdural hematoma on initial non-contrast brain CT scan. Also, a review of literature is presented. We found 12 cases of dural metastasis of prostate cancer mimicking subdural hematoma described in the literature, and unlike in our case, prostate cancer was already diagnosed.
