Plain-English summary
Three dogs, including two golden retrievers aged 9 to 11 years, were brought in for seizures and diagnosed with multiple brain tumors called meningiomas. The treatment options included surgery and radiation for two of the dogs, while one received chemotherapy. After treatment, the dogs underwent imaging and surgery to confirm the presence of distinct tumors. The outcomes of the treatments were not detailed, but these interventions are commonly used for managing such conditions.

Abstract
Three dogs with seizures were diagnosed with multiple intracranial meningiomas. Two of the three dogs were golden retrievers, and ages ranged from 9 to 11 years. Treatment consisted of surgery and radiation (n=2) or chemotherapy (n=1). In all three cases, the masses were two distinct tumors as determined by imaging, surgery, or necropsy. In two dogs, the meningiomas had the same histological pattern, while in one dog the histological subtypes were different.
