Plain-English summary
A 6-year-old female spayed German Shepherd mixed-breed was brought in after experiencing sudden seizures and changes in behavior. An MRI showed a mass in her frontal lobe, and further scans revealed some bone damage near her nasal area but no invasion into the sinuses. After surgery to remove the mass and radiation therapy, the dog recovered well and showed improvement in her symptoms.

Abstract
A 6-year-old female spayed German Shepherd mixed-breed dog was presented for treatment of a frontal lobe mass diagnosed on MRI, after an acute onset of generalized seizures and behavior changes. Computed tomography of the head was performed for radiation therapy planning and revealed concurrent cribriform plate lysis without nasal sinus invasion, and focal lysis of the left ventrolateral cranial fossa. Histopathology of the mass obtained via surgical excision was consistent with a grade I fibrous meningioma. The dog had a good outcome following surgery and radiation therapy.
