Abstract

Medulloblastoma (MB) is an aggressive malignant tumor of the posterior fossa of the CNS that mainly affects children younger than 15 years of age. It is uncommon in the adult population compared to children. Any adult patient presenting with cerebellar mass must be evaluated with brain tissue biopsy to rule out MB. Our patient is a 27-year-old female who presented with sudden onset of frontal headache and was diagnosed with MB.
