From the case:
Dural metastases from prostatic carcinoma
{"current_user":null,"step_through_annotations":true,"access":{"can_edit":false,"can_download":true,"can_toggle_annotations":true,"can_feature":false,"can_examine_pipeline_reports":false,"can_pin":false},"extraPropsURL":"/studies/54892/annotated_viewer_json?c=1669338147\u0026lang=us"}
Both dural masses enhance. On the left there is a small, apparently extradural low density component. No involvement of the superior sagittal sinus identified.
Case Discussion
This patient had a history of prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is a common cause of dural metastases, and is more commonly dural than parenchymal.
