“…The diagnostic ambiguity between dural metastasis and SDH (regardless of chronicity) is a common thread among several cases from the literature, including our own. 4 5 6 7 10 All of the cases of dural metastases that we identified presented with either a hyperdense, mixed density, or isodense lesion ( Table 1 ). In contrast, the majority of true SDHs that were associated with prostate metastases presented as a hypodense lesion ( Table 2 ), a difference that is statistically significant between these two small cohorts ( p = 0.004, Fisher's exact test).…”

Prostate carcinomas are the most common malignancy to metastasize to the dura. These metastases can commonly mimic subdural hematomas and may similarly present with brain compression. The optimal management and outcomes after surgical management are not well characterized. We present a case of prostate carcinoma metastatic to the dura that was initially thought to be a large isodense subdural hematoma and was treated with surgical decompression. We also review the literature regarding prostate dural metastases mimicking subdural hematomas and discuss the relevant imaging findings, treatments, and outcomes. Dural metastasis should be considered when a patient with known metastatic prostate cancer presents with imaging evidence of a subdural mass.

“…We identified eight such cases in addition to our own ( Table 1 ). 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 The age at presentation of these cases ranged from 45 to 76 years (mean 63.9 years). The most frequent presenting symptom was headache (56%), followed by altered mental status/confusion (44%), motor deficits (44%), and gait ataxia (33%).…”

Dural metastases of prostate adenocarcinoma are an extremely rare complication and may mimic intracranial hematoma. Preoperatively diagnosis may be difficult due to similarities in symptoms and radiological appearance. We present a 65-year-old man admitted to the ED with a history of headache, nausea, vomiting, vertigo, diplopia, as well as numbness of his left lower extremity. Past medical history confirmed metastatic prostate cancer disease. After computed tomography and contrast computed tomography, the consulting radiologist diagnosed a chronic subdural hematoma. After burr hole trephination and dural opening, tumorous mass was detected. Histopathologic samples were taken. Histopathological examination was consistent with metastatic adenocarcinoma of the prostate. Although rare, dural metastases need to be included in oncological patients presenting in the ED with symptoms and radiological imaging suggesting hematoma. Both neurooncological and neurosurgical consultations are essential in order to apply the best treatment strategy.
