SHORT PAPER - extensive spinal meningioma in a young dog.
The meningioma is one of the most common intradural spinal neoplasms in dogs. Such tumours are usually solitary, well-defined masses that tend to occur in mature and aged dogs. Several variants have been described in the medical and veterinary literature. This paper records a case of a spinal meningioma that extended from the cervical to the lumbosacral spine, with concurrent hydrocephalus, in a 5-month-old male Rhodesian Ridgeback. The tumour appeared to be a meningothelial meningioma with focal mineralization.
