Abstract
Six dogs that had a sudden onset and rapid progression of neurological signs with enlargement of the cranial vault at 6-8 weeks old were believed to have congenital hydrocephalus. There were severe inflammatory and necrotizing lesions in periventricular sites in the brain. A bacterial infection may have been the cause of this process.
