  • Title: Seizures as a complication of brain tumors in dogs.
    Author: Bagley RS, Gavin PR.
    Journal: Clin Tech Small Anim Pract; 1998 Aug; 13(3):179-84. PubMed ID: 9775508.
    Abstract:
    Seizures are a common reflection of a variety of intracranial physiologic abnormalities in dogs. In dogs with brain tumors, seizures often provide the clinical clue to the existence of an underlying structural brain disease. The majority of brain tumors that result in seizures affect the supratentorial nervous system, especially the olfactory and frontal lobes. Diagnosis requires advanced imaging such as computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to establish the presence of a structural abnormality. Therapy is directed both at tumor and seizure control to afford the best chance of successful management of dogs with brain tumors.
