Abstract

Medulloblastoma is the most common malignant and uncontrollable childhood brain tumor. 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.

Özet

Medulloblastom en sık görülen malign ve kontrol edilemeyen çocukluk çağı beyin tümörüdür. Tümör her yaştaki hastalarda görülür, 3 ve 9 yaş arasındaki çocuklarda bir zirveye ulaşır ve aynı zamanda çocukluk çağında en sık görülen kötü huylu beyincik tümörüdür. Yetişkinlerde beyin tümörlerinin %1 ile %2’ sini oluşturur. Tanım olarak, medulloblastomlar genellikle posterior fossa, bazen pineal bölge veya pontoserebellar bölgeden kaynaklanan tümörler histolojik olarak benzer şekilde sınıflandırılır. Bu hastalığın geleneksel tedavisi, posterior fossa cerrahisi, ardından posterior fossaya yüksek doz olmak kaydıyla kraniyospinal radyasyon tedavisi şeklindedir. Bu yazıda, 13 yaşında bir kız çocuğunda baş ağrısı ve baş dönmesi belirtileri ile ortaya çıkan, astrositomu taklit eden bir posterior fossa medülloblastomu olgusunu sunuyoruz.
