Alterations in Neurology and Behavior: A Case of Aggression Related to Epileptic Seizures

Abstract

Yoda was a dog who suddenly began to exhibit aggressive behaviors towards its owners. While these behaviors initially presented as sudden onset, over time they progressively worsened (increased frequency and intensity). Blood tests did not reveal any abnormalities; however, brain MRI indicated a state of cortical distress. The dog was subsequently euthanized, and histopathological examination of the brain tissue revealed the presence of ischemic neurons, compatible with a potential epileptic condition in life that could be responsible for the aggressive behavior.
