Abstract:
The occurrence of cerebellopontine angle(CPA) medulloblastoma is a rare phenomenon. This article describes the case of a 30-year-old man who presented with headache, nystagmus and cerebellar dysfunction of one month's duration. The tumor arose from the left flocculus or adjacent cerebellar hemishere and projected into the cerebellopontine angle. We review the literature and discuss the clinical characteristics and pathogenesis of CPA medulloblastoma.
