Abstract;Two dogs with convulsions and other neurological signs were diagnosed with brain tumors based on computed tomographic findings. The most part of the tumor tissue could be excised using an ultrasonic surgical instrument through craniotomy, and a good prognosis was obtained in these cases. By histopathological examination, the tumor was diagnosed as meningioma and malignant meningioma, respectively. (author abst.)
