Journal Title: Gujarat Medical Journal - Year 2018, Vol 73, Issue 1
Abstract
Medulloblastoma is the most common brain tumor in children accounting for approximately 20% of all childhood brain tumors and 40% of all paediatric posterior fossa tumours with 70% of cases below 10 years. The peak age incidence is 5 years. Initial therapy includes surgical resection and radiation of the entire neuro-axis. Recurrence is common and typically occurs within 2 years of initial diagnosis. We report a case of supratentorial recurrence 5 years after initial diagnosis. A 17 year old male presenting 5 years after initial diagnosis with isolated right frontal recurrence. Late recurrence to the supratentorial region is uncommon and long term follow-up is recommended in these patients.
