    This study analyzed CT scans of 20 intracranial medulloblastoma patients. CT imaging revealed key characteristics of medulloblastoma, aiding in diagnosis and understanding its common locations and effects.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroradiology
    • Pediatric Oncology
    • Neuroimaging

    Background:

    • Medulloblastoma is a common malignant brain tumor in children.
    • Accurate diagnosis and characterization are crucial for treatment planning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the utility of computed tomography (CT) in diagnosing and characterizing intracranial medulloblastoma.
    • To describe the typical CT findings in a cohort of patients with medulloblastoma.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of CT scans from 20 patients diagnosed with intracranial medulloblastoma.
    • Correlation of imaging findings with clinical presentation and pathological data.

    Main Results:

    • Headache was the primary symptom in all patients.

  • 16 cases showed midline posterior fossa masses, 4 had lateral cerebellar hemisphere locations.
  • All cases demonstrated obstructive hydrocephalus.
  • Lesions were hyperdense in 14 cases, isodense in 6.
  • Post-contrast enhancement was universal, predominantly homogeneous (18 cases).

    • Conclusions:

    • CT is effective in identifying intracranial medulloblastomas and associated hydrocephalus.
    • Characteristic CT features, including location, density, and enhancement patterns, aid in diagnosis.
    • Understanding these imaging findings is vital for neurosurgeons and oncologists.
