This tumor is observed in patients of all ages, reaches a peak in children between 3 and 9 years old, and it is also the most common malignant cerebellar tumor in infants. It accounts for 1% to 2% of all brain tumors in adults. By definition, medulloblastomas arise in the posterior fossa, but histologically similar tumors originating from the pineal region or the pontocerebellar region are no longer classified as medulloblastomas. The traditional treatment for this disease consists of posterior fossa surgery followed by craniospinal radiation therapy plus a high dose boost to the entire posterior fossa. In this report, we present a 13 year-old girl admitted with headache and dizziness symptoms and had medulloblastoma that is located in cerebellopontine angle and mimicking astrocytoma.}, number={3}, publisher={Ege Üniversitesi}
