Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Metastasis of prostatic adenocarcinoma to the nervous system is extremely rare and has been infrequently reported over the last several years. We describe the presentation, evaluation, and surgical intervention of a case of metastatic prostate carcinoma to the dura.
CASE DESCRIPTION: This patient presented with symptoms and physical findings consistent with a subacute subdural hematoma in the setting of recently diagnosed adenocarcinoma of the prostate. He underwent a craniotomy for presumed subdural hematoma. The pathologic diagnosis was consistent with metastatic prostatic carcinoma.
CONCLUSION: This case report demonstrates the need for broad differential diagnosis in the evaluation and treatment of patients presenting with seemingly straightforward subacute subdural hematomas.
