Summary Ten dogs with primary ( n = 8) and metastatic 2) brain tumours were studied in an attempt to evaluate the diagnostic sensitivity of computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Of clinical signs noticed, seizures (seven 10), behavioural abnormalities cognition dysfunction compulsive walking circling (six sensorimotor (five 10) neuro‐opthalmological (two most common.

Only one CT‐evaluated dog, diagnosed meningioma, found be astrocytoma on histopathology. Interestingly, rare case cerebellar medulloblastoma correctly identified scans.
