Introduccion: las metastasis durales del adenocarcinoma prostatico aparecen en etapas avanzadas de la enfermedad y pueden ser la primera manifestacion de un carcinoma prostatico, aun sin sintomas urologicos. Caso clinico : paciente de 71 anos de edad, sin diagnostico previo de carcinoma prostatico que presento deterioro neurologico progresivo. Tomografia axial computarizada (TAC) permitio observar imagen sugestiva de hematoma subdural subagudo. Se realizo craneotomia para realizar drenaje del hematoma, pero se observaron en la duramadre lesiones verrugosas y sangrantes. Se tomo muestra de las lesiones y estudio de anatomia patologica demostro metastasis de adenocarcinoma prostatico. Tumor primario en glandula prostatica fue demostrado posteriormente. Conclusion: las metastasis durales de carcinoma prostatico son infrecuentes. Cuando se suceden pueden simular hematoma subdural o meningioma, entre otras lesiones.

SUMMARY Introduction: dural metastases of prostatic adenocarcinoma appear in advanced stages of the disease and they can be the first manifestation of a prostatic carcinoma, even without urological symptoms. Clinical case: a 71 year-old patient without previous diagnosis of prostatic carcinoma who presented progressive neurological deterioration. Axial computerized tomography (CT) allowed to see a suggestive image of subacute subdural hematoma. It was done a craniotomy to do drainage of the hematoma, but warty and bleeding lesions were seen. An specimen of these lesions was taken and the study of pathological anatomy demonstrated prostatic adenocarcinoma metastases. Primary tumor in prostatic gland was proved later. Conclusion: dural metastases of prostatic carcinoma are infrequent. When they occur, they can simulate a subdural hematoma or meningioma, between other lesions.
