Extra-axial medulloblastoma is a rare phenomenon. We report a case in a 5-year-old boy who presented with nausea, vomiting, and gait disturbance. He was treated with total removal of the tumor. This is the first case of an extra-axially located medulloblastoma occurring in the cerebellar hemisphere posteriolateral to the cerebellopontine angle in Korea. Although the extra-axial occurrence of medulloblastoma is rare, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of extra-axial lesions of the posterior fossa in children.
髓母细胞瘤位于脑外是一种罕见现象。我们报告一例5岁男孩,表现为恶心、呕吐和步态障碍。他接受了肿瘤全切治疗。这是韩国首例发生于小脑脑桥角后外侧小脑半球的髓母细胞瘤位于脑外的病例。尽管髓母细胞瘤位于脑外的情况罕见,但在儿童后颅窝脑外病变的鉴别诊断中应予以考虑。
