Abstract
Medulloblastomas are common midline posterior fossa tumors in children, accounting for almost 30% of all pediatric brain tumors. In adults these tumors occur in the cerebellar hemisphere. Medulloblastomas occurring bilaterally in an adult patient is very rare. Present article includes a case report of one such patient. Relevant literature is also reviewed.
