Actinomyces encephalitis associated with hydrocephalus in a dog.

Introduction Hydrocephalus is one of the most common congenital nervous disorders found in animals; pups, calves and foals being chiefly affected (3). Acquired hydrocephalus is also common but is seldom as severe as the congenital form. Acquired hydrocephalus occurs when obstructions of the aqueduct or subarachnoid pathways develop and the normal flow of fluid becomes compromised. The processes which lead to obstruction are usually inflammatory or neoplastic in origin. This report describes a case of hydrocephalus in a canine in which the condition was associated with an unusual infectious process.
