Zusammenfassung:A three-year-four-month-old boy with primary disseminated medulloblastoma M3 stage and secondary occlusive hydrocephalus underwent an endoscopic triventriculocisternostomy (ETVC) and tumor biopsy, followed by ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) placement due to ETVC failure. The treatment regimen, which included intensive induction chemotherapy, proton beam therapy (PBT), and maintenance chemotherapy, led to significant clinical improvement and a complete radiological response. Four years post-treatment, the child remains in remission, illustrating the effectiveness of a multimodal approach in managing complex cases of medulloblastoma in pediatric patients.
