We present a case of a young dog exhibiting internal hydrocephalus, associated with parasitic granulomas within the ventricular system, inflammatory changes in the periventricular brain tissue and stenosis of the mesencephalic aqueduct. Reference is made to possible causes of these lesions in animals and man.
