Abstract
Prostate cancer can be complicated by spontaneous intracranial haematoma. In the acute setting, an intracranial haematoma can appear isodense on CT scanning, especially if a coagulopathy is present. Diffuse intravascular coagulation (DIC) can be the underlying pathophysiological mechanism that leads to spontaneous bleeding. It is important to recognize the possibility of DIC in cancer patients, since it has important therapeutical implications that may be life saving.
