Abstract
An 8-year old patient with Coffin-Siris syndrome is presented, who was found to have a medulloblastoma during the evaluation of apnea and ventilator dependency. Although several cases of Dandy Walker cysts and one case of brain-stem heterotopia have been described in this rare syndrome, this is the first report of medulloblastoma in a patient with Coffin-Siris syndrome. Possible pathogenetic mechanisms are briefly discussed.Entities:
