    Area of Science:

    • Neuropathology
    • Oncology
    • Neurosurgery

    Background:

    • Subdural effusion can arise from various causes, including neoplastic processes.
    • Metastatic dural deposits present a rare but significant etiology for malignant subdural effusion.

    Observation:

    • A case of subdural effusion secondary to carcinomatous metastatic dural deposits is described.
    • The clinical presentation and pathological findings are analyzed.

    Findings:

    • The study explores the potential pathophysiological mechanisms underlying malignant subdural haemorrhagic effusion.
    • Malignant subdural effusion is characterized by neoplastic cells within the subdural space.

    Implications:

    • Early suspicion and prompt diagnosis of malignant subdural effusion are crucial for patient management.
