Ossifying pachymeningitis in an 11-year-old Afghan Hound. Note the formation of tough plaques on the dura mater corresponding to bone tissue. This alteration is common in older animals and does not seem to cause any functional disturbance. The dark nodules that seem to be inserted in the dura mater correspond to inflamed adipose tissue containing haematic pigment.
