title: Novel approach to temporal lobectomy for removal of a cavernous hemangioma in a dog.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report temporal lobe surgery for a cavernous hemangioma in a dog and outcome.
  
  
  METHODS
  Clinical report.
  
  
  METHODS
  Dog (n = 1).
  
  
  METHODS
  Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging was used to identify a temporal lobe mass in 9-year-old, male neutered Labrador Retriever that had a 12 hour history of seizures. An approach to the temporal lobe allowed preservation of the zygomatic arch and mass removal.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The mass was confirmed as a cavernous hemangioma on histopathology. Repeat MR imaging at 13 months showed no recurrence of gross structural disease; however, the dog's anti-epileptic medication was administered for adequate seizure control.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Temporal lobe surgery can be performed in the dog's for the management of temporal lobe mass lesions.
