A Case of Transitional Medulloblastoma in the Posterior Fossa of a Child

ABSTRACT

The case is reported of a 2 1/2-year-old femal with headache, vomiting and paraparesis. Clinical feature and operative findings are quite different from those of classic medulloblastoma in its lateral location, well-circumscribed tendency, non-invasiveness, no CSF metastasis, and favourable prognosis after surgical removal. Histological features are the combination of those of classic, and desmoplastic medulloblastoma. Review of literature was done.
