A 4‐year‐old Doberman Pinscher was evaluated for chronic progressive central vestibular disease and aggressiveness. A cyst‐like lesion was identified in the region of the left cerebellopontine angle. The lesion was hypointense on T1‐weighted and hyperintense on T2‐weighted images. Differentials included an epidermoid or dermoid cyst, cystic neoplasm, and brain abscess. Hyperintensity on subsequent fluid‐attenuated inversion recovery images excluded an arachnoid cyst. The histopathologic diagnosis was epidermoid cyst within the fourth ventricle.
