Magnetic resonance images of the brain of a two-month-old Dogue de Bordeaux (a) with a short progressive history of an abnormal hypermetric gait, apparent central blindness, obtundation and seizures. These signs suggested a multifocal neurological localisation with forebrain and cerebellar involvement. The mid-sagittal T2-weighted image (b), transverse T2-weighted image (c) and dorsal T1-weighted image (d) reveals marked distension of the lateral (*), third and fourth (white block arrow) ventricles. There is associated atrophy of the cerebral cortex. Note the dog's dome-shaped skull; however, the absence of this sign does not preclude a diagnosis
