Plain-English summary
A 10-month-old male beagle was diagnosed with a multiloculated cyst in his brain after showing signs of neurological issues. The cyst was located in a part of the brain called the fourth ventricle and was filled with a substance made up of skin cells. This condition caused some pressure on the surrounding brain tissue. Treatment details are not provided, but such cases typically require surgical intervention to remove the cyst and relieve symptoms.

Abstract
An intracranial epidermoid cyst was identified within the fourth ventricle of a male 10-month-old beagle dog. The cyst, which exhibited a multilocular structure, was lined by a stratified squamous epithelium and filled with desquamated keratin. In the region of the roof of the fourth ventricle, choroid plexus adherent to the cyst wall and secondary compression of the cerebellum were also seen.
