摘要
We report the case of a 43-year-old woman with a large midline medulloblastoma invading the brain-stem. She underwent a radical resection followed by radio-and chemotherapy. The follow-up period was 2.5 years; she is now without recurrence of the tumor, but neurological deficits, mostly in the form of cerebellar dysfunction, persist. The aim of this case report is to increase awareness of the incidence, treatment and prognosis of primitive neuroectodermal tumors in adults. Medulloblastomas are rare and compared to the pediatric population, have a relatively good prognosis. The most important prognostic factors are completeness of the resection and presence of metastases. Eur. J. Oncol., 17 (2), 99-104, 2012
