Cranial Nerve Hamartoma in a Dog

G. K. Saunders

College of Veterinary Medicine, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA

Abstract

An 11-year-old, male, neutered Cavalier King Charles spaniel was euthanatized because of recurrent seizures and inflammatory bowel disease. An incidental finding at necropsy was the presence of bilateral, firm, white nodules across the petrosal crest of the skull. Microscopically, the nodules were composed of normal myelinated nerve fibers within a mucinous stroma. A diagnosis of cranial nerve hamartoma was made.

Key words: Hamartoma; nerve.
