Medulloblastoma is a highly malignant primary brain tumor that originates in the cerebellum or posterior fossa. Tumors that originate in the cerebellum are referred to as infratentorial because they occur below the tentorium, a thick membrane that separates the cerebral hemispheres of the brain from the cerebellum. Another term for medulloblastoma is infratentorial primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET). Medulloblastoma is the most common PNET originating in the brain. The majority of this tumors are invasive and rapidly growing tumors that, unlike most brain tumors, spread through the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and frequently metastasize to different locations in the brain and spine.

I like the diagram with the real tumor in the middle

It looks like stomach contents.

My son has this. Was diagnosed 3 weeks before he turned 6, they got it all out, and with chemo and radiation he's remained tumor free. His neurosurgeon said the tumor was about the size of a pear. He's 7 now, and off treatment, but still being monitored. If I can figure out how to upload his before and after MRI pics, I will.

Glad he's all right, tisasecret!

My bro died from Glioblastoma at 45. The doctors call this kind of tumor "The Terminator".
