Abstract

A 5-month-old German Shepherd dog was presented with cluster seizures. MR imaging showed a large irregular pseudomass in the central region of the cranial cavity, compatible with a malformation of cortical development. Despite the extensive changes, the patient was neurologically normal interictally 1 year following diagnosis.

Keywords: brain development; canine; cortical malformation; heterotopia.
