Dural metastasis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma : a case report

الملخص EN

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) with dural metastasis is extremely rare, mostly asymptomatic, leaving it to be highly at risk of being overlooked.

We report a case of a woman with dural metastasis of NPC almost 1 year post concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) that was detected following a trivial trauma to her head.

Owing to its rare occurence, it presents a great challenge for clinicians to make a prompt diagnosis because delayed in the treatment may lead to a fatal outcome.
