Abstract
- Medulloblastomas constitute 4 per cent of all intracranial tumors and 7 to 8 per cent of all intracranial neuroepithelial tumors. Although medulloblastomas are generally considered to be tumors of childhood, about 30 per cent of patients are at least 16 years old when first seen, Four fifths of these adult patients are between 21 and 40 years old and after the age of 50, the incidence of these tumors are extremely rare. Herein the authors report on one case of medulloblastoma in 56 years old patient with the brief review of literatures.
