Cystic papillary meningioma in the sella turcica of a dog.
An 8-year-old spayed Scottish Terrier was examined because of a history of intermittent abnormal behavior that progressed to hind limb ataxia and eventually to recumbency with opisthotonos. X-Ray computed tomography revealed a radiolucent mass in the area of the hypothalamus. At necropsy, a suprasellar cystic papillary meni-ngioma was identified. The unusual clinical signs of disease and computed tomographic findings of this case complicated diagnosis.
