Abstract
- Spinal metastases are most commonly osseous and may extend to the epidural space. Less commonly, spinal metastases can be subdural, leptomeningeal, or intramedullary. Among these, subdural metastases are the most rare, with few reported cases. While these lesions are now almost exclusively detected on MRI, they can rarely be apparent on other modalities. It is important to recognize subdural metastases on any modality, because they have a significant impact on patient prognosis and treatment. We report a case of renal cell carcinoma in a 68-year-old male initially presenting with subdural metastases detected on CT myelography, with subsequent confirmation by MRI. The case illustrates, to our knowledge, the first example of subdural metastatic disease seen on CT myelography.
