Abstract:
:We report on 15 cases of medulloblastoma of adult onset (8 male and 7 female) operated upon posterior fossa approach from February 1988 to October 1995. Tumors were localized in cerebellar hemisphere in 7 cases (one with extension to supratentorial notch and another case reaching the cerebello-pontine angle cistern), in vermis and hemisphere in four, only in vermis in another four. Resection was total in seven patients, subtotal in other seven, and partial in one. There was no operative mortality. Aspects regarding biological behavior, diagnosis, pathological findings, surgery and survival are discussed as well as prognostic factors.
