A cerebellar oligodendroglioma was responsible for the progressive development of neurological deficits in a six‐year‐old castrated male domestic longhaired cat. These abnormalities included a head tilt and loss of balance, nystagmus, proprioceptive deficits and eventually a fine head tremor and hypermetria of the forelimbs. The tumour was found to have destroyed most of the cerebellar grey matter, the flocculus, and the cerebellar roof nuclei on the right hand side. Increased peri‐axonal space and axonal vacuolation were visible in fibre tracts which connected to the cerebellum. The clinical signs and location of the tumour are related to the functional anatomy of the cerebellum.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
