Abstract
The present study was conducted on specimens of cerebellum obtained from fetal autopsy. The study was done to identify the presence of the External Granular layer which acts as the precursor of the molecular, Purkinje and internal granular layers of the cerebellum. A comparison was done with a cerebellar specimen obtained from a two year old child to suggest that the external granular layer disappears after birth and its persistence leads to the formation of medulloblastoma.
