Abstract

Meningiomas are benign neoplasms that may have a malignant biological character due to intracranial changes, according to your location and cause compression of adjacent tissues. Are among the most common neoplasms of the central nervous system in dogs. They may arise in geriatric patients and cause variable symptoms depending on location, extent and growth rate. Definitive treatment is done by surgical resection and radiotherapy The aim of this study is to report a case of intracranial meningioma involving the left olfactory bulb and frontal lobe in a 10-year-old Shetland Sheepdog, referred to the diagnostic imaging sector through magnetic resonance after presenting seizures generalized and non-ambulatory tetraparesis, as well as the choice of anesthetic and analgesic protocol and postoperative care. It was concluded that patients undergoing craniotomy should undergo general anesthesia with safe protocols that consider the surgical procedure as well as comorbidities, and that the postoperative period of these patients requires follow-up in intensive care units in order to reduce the risk of death and complications.
