摘要
Medulloblastoma is a rare adult primary brain tumor and its presence in the cere-bellopontine angle (CPA) constitutes an even rarer site for origin. There are only 40 reported cases of CPA medulloblastoma in the literature, with most being intra-axial and occurring in the pediatric population. Extra-axial CPA medulloblastoma in adults are extremely rare and only 10 adult cases have been reported in world literature.We report a rare case of primary extra-axial CPA medulloblastoma occurring in an adult. We review the literature for such an unusual presentation of medulloblastoma in adults and discuss its appropriate clinico-radiological features along with its possible pathogenesis and surgical management.With increasing reporting of such tumors, CPA region, medulloblastoma should be considered a differential diagnosis of intra-axial or extra-axial CPA tumor, as their further management and prognosis differ significantly. Adjuvant radiotherapy and combined chemotherapy regimen should be added to the postoperative management.
