Abstract: | A 10-year-old, female poodle was presented with left paresis and vestibular signs, following left enophthalmus and atrophy of the cheek. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a mass along the base of the brain and extending from the left cerebellopontine angle to the sella turcica. The mass showed isointensity on the T1-weighted image and T2-weighted image, and was enhanced by contrast medium (Gd-DTPA). Although occipital craniotomy was carried out and the mass removed, the dog died without recovering from the anesthesia. The tumor was diagnosed pathologically as fibroblastic meningioma. |
