Abstract

Cerebello-pontine angle (CPA) tumors account for only less than 10 % of intracranial tumors, it usually affects children at a young age with the midline being the most favorable location. Our adult patient demonstrated a very unusual site for medulloblastoma at the CPA. Less than 50 cases all around the world have been reported in the English literature for Medulloblastoma to be located at the CPA, and most of them in pediatric age group. We report a 43 year old female patient who presented to our neurosurgical ward in Jerusalem with a 4 months history of progressive decreased hearing at the left side, accompanied with tinnitus, dizziness, and imbalance on walking. Medulloblastoma at the CPA was one of the differential diagnosis and was confirmed at our histopathology unit after gross total resection of the tumor, the surgery followed by radiotherapy and the patient was well after 9 months after procedure. MB-CPA is a relatively rare tumor, and the early diagnosis make a difference in the management, prognosis, and outcomes, so it should be considered as a differential diagnosis of a lesion of the CPA.
