Magnetic resonance imaging findings of an intracranial medulloblastoma in a Polish Lowland Sheepdog

Vet Radiol Ultrasound. 2004 Jan-Feb;45(1):17-22. doi: 10.1111/j.1740-8261.2004.04003.x.

Abstract

Medullobastoma is an uncommon caudal fossa tumor. The imaging features of medullobastoma in the dog are poorly described. In this report, the magnetic resonance (MR) appearance of a cerebellar medullobastoma in a dog is described. The MR features were similar to medulloblastomas in adult humans, with the tumor arising laterally and extending to the surface of the cerebellar hemisphere. Correct localization of medulloblastoma may be difficult and it should be considered as a differential for both extra- and intra-axial caudal fossa masses.
