Medulloblastoma is a malignant, invasive brain tumour arising from the cerebellar vermis. The vast majority of medulloblastomas arise sporadically in the first two decades of life. As it is largely a tumour of childhood, this topic will not deal with medulloblastoma in adults, although the management is similar in adults and children.[1]Franceschi E, Hofer S, Brandes AA, et al.
