摘要

Background: Meningeoma is a common intracranial tumour type in dogs and cats. Epilepsy and obtunded mental state are the most common clinical signs of frontal meningiomas. Frontal lobe and olfactory bulb are the most typical place of meningioma in dogs. Many surgical procedures have been described about the removal of meningioma which depends on the placement of the tumour. Bilateral transfrontal approach is recommended in case when the meningioma locates at the frontal lobe. Followed by the tumour resection chemotherapy and/ or radiotherapy are recommended.
