Abstract:
Germ cell tumors comprise approximately 2-5% of all childhood brain tumors. They arise predominantly in the pineal and suprasellar region, but may occur throughout the brain. Teratomas are generally divided into gonadal and extragonadal types. A posterior fossa teratoma is a rare occurrence. The focus of this discussion is a 5-year-old boy with posterior fossa teratoma who recovered completely after medical and surgical intervention. We also present his interesting imaging and pathological findings.

The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...
