Brain tumors are an important cause of cancer-related deaths in children; however the survival rates of pediatric brain tumor patients have significantly improved over the years due to developments in diagnostic techniques, neurosurgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and supportive care. Medulloblastoma is the most common embryonal tumor in children. Patients with medulloblastoma are often staged as average-risk or poor –risk on the basis of clinical findings. In this article we have reported a case of medulloblastoma in a 2 year old child presenting with the chief complaint of cerebellar ataxia and its successful anesthetic management during surgery.
