The authors describe a rare case of subdural haematoma in a patient with dural carcinomatosis associated with a primary carcinoma of the pancreas. The diagnosis of the intracranial lesion was established by carotid angiography and the patient was operated on but died 2 weeks after operation because of upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage. It is thought that the subdural fluid accumulation resulted from the occlusion of the dural capillaries with neoplastic cells with subsequent haemorrhages.
