[Cerebellar tumours in the child. Technic and operative results (author's transl)]. 1980

R van den Bergh, and J Gybels, and C Plets

The authors present a series of 95 cerebellar tumours in the child. They discuss the relationship between the clinical syndrome and the histological nature on the one hand and the site of the tumour on the other hand. Favourable operative results, characterised by a very low mortality and by the absence of grave postoperative complications, are attributed to as complete an excision as possible of the tumour and preoperative normalisation of intracranial pressure by the installation of ventriculo-subcutaneous drainage.

D008527	Medulloblastoma	A malignant neoplasm that may be classified either as a glioma or as a primitive neuroectodermal tumor of childhood (see NEUROECTODERMAL TUMOR, PRIMITIVE). The tumor occurs most frequently in the first decade of life with the most typical location being the cerebellar vermis. Histologic features include a high degree of cellularity, frequent mitotic figures, and a tendency for the cells to organize into sheets or form rosettes. Medulloblastoma have a high propensity to spread throughout the craniospinal intradural axis.

D002528	Cerebellar Neoplasms	Primary or metastatic neoplasms of the CEREBELLUM. Tumors in this location frequently present with ATAXIA or signs of INTRACRANIAL HYPERTENSION due to obstruction of the fourth ventricle. Common primary cerebellar tumors include fibrillary ASTROCYTOMA and cerebellar HEMANGIOBLASTOMA. The cerebellum is a relatively common site for tumor metastases from the lung, breast, and other distant organs.
