Formation of a meningoencephalocele after removal of a frontal lobe meningioma by transfrontal craniotomy in a cat.

Iatrogenic meningoencephalocele is a complication that has not previously been described after meningioma removal in cats, and should be considered as a potential complication after craniotomy.
