Plain-English summary
A dachshund was brought in for a vestibular disorder, which means it was having trouble with balance and coordination. An MRI showed a mass in the right side of the brain, along with swelling around it. Despite surgery to remove the mass, the dog sadly passed away. The mass was identified as granulomatous meningoencephalitis, a serious brain condition.

Abstract
The authors encountered a dachshund dog, presenting vestibular disorder. On magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, a mass showing isointensity on the T1- and T2-weighted images and enhanced by contrast medium, was observed in the right cerebellum. In addition, the periphery of the mass showed isointensity on the T1-weighted image and hyperintensity on the T2-weighted image, suggesting sever oedema. Although the dog underwent surgery, it died. The mass was diagnosed pathologically as a granulomatous meningoencephalitis.
