Background: Although the diagnosis of subdural hematoma is usually straightforward, occasionally it may be erroneous, leading to mistakes in the treatment. For example, leptomeningeal malignancies, even in the absence of bleeding, may clinically and radiologically mimic subdural hemorrhage. Objective: To stress the importance of not only intuitive thinking but also in analytic thinking in appropriate and accurate treatment strategies. Methods and Illustrative case: In this report, the clinical and radiological pitfalls in differentiating malignant leptomeningeal infiltration and subdural hematomas are discussed. A sample case of an intracranial extra-osseous manifestation of a multiple myeloma that is atypical with regard to its location and clinical presentation is presented for illustration. Conclusions: The variability of intracranial presentation and the wide spectrum of leptomeningeal malignancies necessitate careful preoperative evaluation of the patient's individual history as well as radiological images to avoid misdiagnosis. A clinician who has become familiar with the pitfalls in the differential diagnosis between leptomeningeal infiltrations and subdural hematoma will act more analytically to solve the patient's problems properly and avoid potential complications for the patient.
