At the Yamaguchi University Animal Hospital, from 1994 to 1999, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used to examine 41 bovine animals suspected of brain diseases. Nothing abnormal was found in 14 cases. The remaining animals demonstrated the following conditions: hydrocephalus (9 cases), hydrocephalus and cerebellar hypoplasia (1 case), cerebellar hypoplasia (1 case), hydranencephaly (10cases), and intraorbital lymphoma (2 cases), intraorbital cyst (1 case), compression of the optic nerve by an intraorbital abscess (1 case), intranasal hemangioma (1 case), and brain-stem abscess (1 case). Three animals suspected of brain diseases but demonstrating no abnormalities in MRI remain alive.
