Abstract
Prostatic adenocarcinoma presenting as metastatic disease to the nervous system is a rare pathologic entity and has infrequently been reported over the last several years. Furthermore, although its presentation as chronic subdural hematomas has been repeatedly reported previously in the literature, to our knowledge there is no report of its appearance mimicking an epidural hematoma on noncontrast head CT. Here we describe the clinical presentation, evaluation and surgical intervention of a patient with a dural prostate carcinoma metastasis with chronic subdural hematoma mimicking an epidural hematoma.
