Abstract

Prostate cancer metastasis to the dura is a rare occurrence. Metastasis to the dura can present as signs and symptoms of worsening mental status or neurological deficit. Therefore, malignant metastasis should be considered in a patient presenting with history of prostate cancer and worsening metal status without evidence of trauma.

Keywords: Metastasis; prostate cancer; subdural mass; trauma; worsening mental status.
