Abstract
A 21-year-old male patient presented with a rare cerebellopontine angle medulloblastoma manifesting as cerebellar and long tract involvement signs and symptoms. The clinical and radiological characteristics of the lesion were similar to extraaxial lesions of cerebellopontine angle. The histological diagnosis of the lesion was medulloblastoma. Surgery achieved partial removal and was followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The patient remained well after 18 months. Medulloblastoma of the cerebellopontine angle is a relatively rare clinical entity and may occur as a dural-based extraaxial mass.Entities:
