Description
Jin-Won Lee, Yongsun Kim, and Hwi-Yool Kim report surgery on a young dog whose brain tissue bulged through a skull defect into its nose, in a case report from 2026. Such hernias are rare in dogs and their surgical value was unclear. The American Cocker Spaniel arrived with seizures.
Brain scans showed tissue poking through the cribriform plate into the nasal cavity. Surgeons removed the protruding tissue and rebuilt the skull base. Lab checks found nervous tissue with long-standing inflammation and no tumor. The dog recovered smoothly and stayed seizure-free through follow-up. The case supports surgery as an option for this rare defect.
