Medulloblastoma is the most common brain tumor in children, accounting for 15 to 30 percent of all pediatric cancers of the central nervous system (CNS). The most commonly reported symptoms of medulloblastoma at initial diagnosis are associated with increased intracranial pressure and cerebellar dysfunction. Other clinical features are headache (80%), nausea and vomiting (78%), and ataxia (73%) were most commonly identified.
