A Rare Case of Adult Medulloblastoma with Spinal Metastasis
Medulloblastoma is a relatively common malignant brain tumor of childhood and relatively rare in adulthood, with a propensity for neuraxial spread via cerebrospinal fluid pathways. Osseous extraneural metastasis is uncommon and when it happens, radiologic findings are of sclerotic (60%), lytic (35%), and mixed patterns (5%) (Algra et al. (1992)). In this paper, we present a case of medulloblast...
متن کاملAdult cerebellar medulloblastoma: CT and MRI findings in eight cases.
Medulloblastoma is a brain tumor of neuroepithelial origin, which represents 15 to 30% of all pediatric brain tumors, and less than 1% of CNS adult neoplasms. We report the imaging findings of 8 adult patients with medulloblastoma. The mean age was 35 years, ranging from 20 to 65 years, and the male:female rate was 3:5. The tumors were predominantly lateral (63%), hyperdense on CT scans (83%), ...
متن کاملAdult cerebellar medulloblastoma: imaging features with emphasis on MR findings.
PURPOSE To describe the MR imaging features of cerebellar medulloblastoma in the adult. MATERIALS AND METHODS The neuroimages and records of 15 adults with proved cerebellar medulloblastoma were retrospectively evaluated. In 12 patients, preoperative MR scans were reviewed; nine had Gd-DTPA-enhanced scans. RESULTS Of the 12 tumors evaluated preoperatively, eight were hemispheric, two hemisp...
متن کاملAdult medulloblastoma: A rare case report and literature review
BACKGROUND Medulloblastoma is a highly malignant embryonal tumor which commonly arises in the cerebellum. It is relatively rare and accounts for less than 2% of all primary brain tumors. The tumor primarily occurs in childhood; however, rarely, it may be found in adult population. In addition, medulloblastoma in adult population shows features which are quite distinct from the pediatric group. ...
متن کاملAdult Medulloblastoma Associated with Syringomyelia: A Case Report
The association between cerebellar medulloblastoma and syringomyelia is uncommon and only found in pediatric patients. To date, adult medulloblastoma associated with syringomyelia has not been reported in the literature. Paroxysmal bradycardia is an uncommon clinical manifestation in posterior fossa tumors and likely to be vagally mediated via brainstem preganglionic cardiac motor neurons. This...
