Craniospinal radiotherapy for medulloblastoma in a man with severe kyphoscoliosis

Medulloblastoma is an uncommon tumour in the adult population. Maximum surgical resection followed by craniospinal irradiation with a posterior fossa boost is the standard treatment. We report the case history of an adult with medulloblastoma and severe kyphoscoliosis. The unusual anatomy of the pat...

description Medulloblastoma is an uncommon tumour in the adult population. Maximum surgical resection followed by craniospinal irradiation with a posterior fossa boost is the standard treatment. We report the case history of an adult with medulloblastoma and severe kyphoscoliosis. The unusual anatomy of the patient posed a technical challenge to the oncologist and the physicist in planning the craniospinal radiotherapy. A shaped spinal field matched to a parallel opposed pair of shaped head fields was used. The technique used in treating this patient was made possible with the use of a multileaf collimation and verification with an electronic portal imaging device. The patient remains well with no sign of relapse 4 years after treatment.
