Cerebellopontine (CP) angle Medulloblastoma is a quite uncommon presentation in clinical practice, especially in children. We report such a case in a 12 years old female patient with clinical history of headache, altered sensorium, vertigo, gait ataxia, left side facial paresis and hearing loss. Preoperative axial MR imaging showed an ill-defined heterogenous lesion in left CP angle region with involvement of left middle cerebellar peduncle, left cerebellar hemisphere and cerebellar vermis. Post contrast scan showed heterogenous enhancement. Intra operative frozen cytology was suggestive of malignant round cell neoplasm.The subsequent histopathology and immunohistochemistry favoured the diagnosis of Medulloblastoma.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
