Attempted Surgical Resection of a Canine Brain Tumor Diagnosed by CT Scanning

Abstract

On the basis of various clinical tests, including computerized tomography (CT) scanning, a nine-year-old male Maltese dog suffering from seizures was diagnosed as having a brain tumor. Craniotomy led to tumor resection and decreased intracranial pressure. Histopathological examination resulted in a diagnosis of malignant astrocytoma.
