Plain-English summary
A dog with a long history of seizures was examined and found to have a mass in the brain. The vet used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to identify a specific area in the right side of the brain that was affected. After surgery to remove the mass, tests showed it was a condition called meningioangiomatosis, which involves abnormal growth of blood vessels and brain tissue. The outcome of the surgery and any follow-up treatment details were not provided, but the diagnosis helps guide further care for the dog.

Abstract
A case of a dog with a long-standing history of seizures is reported. Neurological examination suggested an intracranial focal lesion, while magnetic resonance imaging disclosed a right cerebral mass with ventricular involvement. Pathological analysis of the resected specimen revealed characteristics of meningioangiomatosis.
