Extra-Axial Cerebello-Pontine Angle Medulloblastoma

Medulloblastoma is the most common central nervous system tumor in children. Extra-axial medulloblastomas, especially tumors with no connection to the brain stem or cerebellum are extremely rare. We report a case of a 3-year-old patient, who presented with a history of subacute headache and vomiting. After performing a head computed tomography scan, a mass was detected in the left cerebello-pontine angle, along with concomitant hydrocephalus. The treatment was total resection of the tumor. Despite the fact that extra-axial medulloblastomas are extremely rare, this differential diagnosis should be included in the management of pediatric patients who present with posterior fossa tumors.
