Abstract
|
|
|
|
Medulloblastoma is a common pediatric tumor typically diagnosed before the age of fifteen. Initial therapy includes surgical resection and radiation of the entire neuro-axis. Recurrence is common and typically occurs within 2 years of initial diagnosis. Those fitting Collin's Law is considered tumor-free. We report a case of single supratentorial recurrence 13 years after initial diagnosis. Here we present a 22 year old male presenting 13 years after initial diagnosis with isolated septum pellucidum recurrence. He underwent complete resection of the tumor. Medulloblastoma is a common in the pediatric population. Late recurrence to the ventricular system is uncommon. Long term follow-up is recommended in these patients.
