An 81-year-old man with known metastatic prostate cancer with recent biochemical progression underwent a PSMA PET/CT (18F-piflufolastat) for restaging. Review of the images demonstrated an acute or chronic left cerebral convexity subdural hematoma on CT with corresponding radiotracer activity throughout the collection on PET. Analysis of the patient’s prior imaging showed that this subdural hematoma had significantly increased in size when compared with a head CT obtained 2 months prior. The patient was referred to a nearby emergency department and underwent repeat imaging and subdural drain placement. Unfortunately, the patient died secondary to rapid reaccumulation of subdural blood products after intervention.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
