A 4-year-old girl presented to the hospital with a progressive headache, difficulty walking, and persistent daily vomiting for 3 weeks. Papilledema was observed on fundoscopic examination. A large left cerebellovermian tumor with "bubbly" appearance was discovered. Total removal of the tumor mass was performed, and a diagnosis of low-grade astroblastoma was made. Adjuvant radiotherapy was performed due to the risk of recurrence. The patient is disease-free and has been kept on close follow-up for 6 months. The occurrence of posterior fossa astroblastoma has been rarely reported in the literature. Thus, when a "bubby" appearance enhancing cystic solid tumor is located on the cerebellar hemisphere in a child, an astroblastoma should also be included in the differential diagnosis.
一名4岁女孩因进行性头痛、行走困难及持续3周的每日持续性呕吐入院。眼底检查发现视乳头水肿。发现一个外观呈“泡沫状”的巨大左小脑蚓部肿瘤。行肿瘤肿块全切，诊断为低级别成星形细胞瘤。因有复发风险，进行了辅助放疗。患者无疾病复发，已密切随访6个月。后颅窝成星形细胞瘤的发生在文献中鲜有报道。因此，当儿童小脑半球出现一个呈“泡沫状”外观的强化囊实性肿瘤时，鉴别诊断中也应考虑成星形细胞瘤。
