Sažetak
This paper describes two cases of hydrocephalus in dog. Both dogs were presented at the Clinic for Internal Diseases, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine in Zagreb, after having experienced cluster seizures and status epilepticus respectively. In each dog physical and neurological examination was performed and revealed no abnormalities. Complete laboratory workup and urinalysis were included for each dog and all the results were within reference range. Both dogs underwent magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and through this procedure the diagnosis of hydrocephalus was established. Anticonvulsive therapy and therapy against increased intracranial pressure was introduced in both dogs. The treatment resulted with marked clinical improvement.
