Zusammenfassung: | Table 1 - Clinical features of the reported cases of primary leptomeningeal medulloblastoma. 1 Introduction Medulloblastoma, which accounts for 12-25% of central nervous system tumours in children and 0.1-1% in adults [1], is a neuroepithelial malignant tumour that originates from primitive neuroectodermal tissue. [5] reported administration of a Head Start III chemotherapy regimen and we attempted radiotherapy, but the outcomes of both cases remained dismal. [...]investigation into treatment for this disease is necessary.4 Conclusion Medulloblastoma that exhibits only leptomeningeal enhancement without a solid mass on the initial radiographical examination, named primary leptomeningeal medulloblastoma, is particularly rare. |
