Meningioma intracraniano em cães e gatos: revisão bibliográfica

Abstract

The incidence of intracranial neoplasms is increasing every year, as advancements in veterinary technology allow animals to longevity, leading to a rise in geriatric diseases. Meningiomas are the most common neoplasms, presenting with neurological clinical signs, mainly behavioral changes and seizures. Advanced imaging modalities such as computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging facilitate diagnosis, while histopathology provides definitive confirmation. Various treatment options, both medical and surgical, are available; however, the prognosis remains unfavorable due to the location and high recurrence rates. This work aims to study the histopathology, clinical signs, diagnosis, and treatment of intracranial meningiomas, with the intention of serving as a guide for veterinarians.
