Imaging Characteristics

✓ The records of 34 patients over 16 years of age with cerebellar medulloblastoma were retrospectively reviewed. All patients were treated by surgery, and all surviving patients were given radiation therapy. The imaging characteristics of this rare entity were evaluated with regard to the tumor location in the cerebellum, and the prognostic effects of histological characteristics such as neuronal or glial differentiation and the presence of desmoplasia were investigated. Neither histological parameters nor tumor location (median, paramedian, or lateral cerebellar) affected patient survival. The desmoplastic variant was encountered in 38% of these adult medulloblastomas and occurred in all three cerebellar locations. The degree of surgical resection did not have a major effect on long-term survival; long-term survival was possible even in patients who had received only a biopsy. The extent of initial radiation therapy was positively correlated with recurrence-free survival; full neuraxis irradiation was associated with a 13% incidence of delayed spinal metastases, whereas 75% of patients treated with irradiation of only the posterior fossa and/or the whole brain developed spinal deposits. A similar local recurrence rate (12.5%) was noted in both irradiation groups. Chemotherapy resulted in palliation in some patients with metastatic disease.
