The medulloblastoma is an infratentorial, rapidly growing embryonic tumor that arises in the posterior part of the cerebellar vermis and neuroepithelial roof of the fourth ventricle. It is frequent in children relatively uncommon in adults. Medulloblastoma is also named infratentorial primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET).We present a case of 28 year old male diagnosed with medulloblastoma in our clinic.
