Meningioma intracraniano em cão (relato de caso)

Abstract

Among intracranial neoplasms diagnosed in adults to senile dogs, meningioma is considered the most common primary tumor. The present study describes the case of a dog with chronic progressive neurological disorders and suspected intracranial neoplasia. The previous diagnosis was obtained by computadorized tomography and was confirmed by histopathological examination, which defined as psamomatoso meningioma. Therefore, it can be concluded that neuroimaging methods are of considerable value in establishing the presumptive diagnosis of meningioma, but it´s confirmation of the same can only be achieved by histopathology.
