Microgliomatosis in a Schnauzer dog.

Microgliomatosis was found in the central nervous system of a 7-year-old male Standard Schnauzer. History, neurologic examination, laboratory tests and electrodiagnostics could not localize the disease process in the central nervous system. The animal was not treated, continued to deteriorate, and was euthanatized approximately 8 weeks after clinical signs were first detected. Diagnosis was made upon histologic examination of the brain.
