Glomus jugulare tumour in a dog; a case report

Unilateral ataxia of the head and trunk and right-sided paralysis of the trigeminal, facial, and hypoglossal nerves were the major neurologic dysfunctions in a nine-year-old male French bulldog. These symptoms together with the results of radiologic examination and bone scintigraphy pointed to a cranial base tumour on the right side. The tumour was histologically identified as a glomus jugulare tumour. A tumour of the right carotid body and a seminoma in the right testicle were additional findings at autopsy.
