Méningiome
Also known as: Tumeur cérébrale
Le méningiome est la tumeur cérébrale la plus fréquente chez le chat, issue des méninges qui recouvrent le cerveau. Chez le chat, ces tumeurs sont généralement bénignes, à croissance lente et bien délimitées, ce qui rend l'exérèse chirurgicale souvent curative. Elles touchent typiquement les chats âgés et provoquent des signes neurologiques progressifs comme des changements de comportement et des convulsions.
