Abstract
Two dogs with neurologic signs were evaluated by magnetic resonance im aging of the brain, Focal space-occupying lesions were present in both dogs, In the first, the lesion was in the brain stem and in the secon d, in the cerebellum, In one dog the lesion was only evident after adm inistration of gadolinium-DTPA-dimeglumine. Based on the magnetic reso nance images, neoplasia was suspected in both dogs but histopathologic ally, granulomatous meningoencephalomyelitis was diagnosed.
