Vestibular syndrome associated with an ependymoma in a cat.
An ependymoma was diagnosed in a 4.5-year-old spayed Siamese cat with clinical signs of vestibular disease. Diagnosis was based on history, results of neurologic examination, and the finding of neoplastic cells in CSF. Necropsy revealed an ependymoma arising from the fourth ventricle of the ventricular CNS and involving the left medullary and cerebellar areas.
