There have been few reports of the occurrence of, and treatment methods for, cystic meningioma in the dog. This report describes a case in a Maltese which presented with a three‐month history of seizures. Cystic meningioma was diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging using contrast medium (gadoteridol) enhanced images. Attempted surgical removal of the mass was successful, and the outcome following surgery was good.
