This is a medulloblastoma, an aggressive type of primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) which can seed the subarachnoid spaces with metastatic foci. Medulloblastomas are one of the most common posterior fossa tumors of childhood.Credit:Living Art Enterprises/Science SourceSize:4200px × 4655px (~55 MB)Get PricingHow Will The Visual Be Used?ShareKeywords:abnormal-abnormal mri brain-brain-brain cancer-brain mass-brain mass in child-brain scan-brain tumor-brain tumor in child-brainstem-brainstem compression-cancer-cerebellar-cerebellar mass-childhood brain tumor-color-color enhancement-colorized-compression-condition-diagnostic-diagnostic imaging-dilated-dilated ventricle-disease-disorder-enhanced-false color-fossa-head-herniation-hydrocephalus-imaging-lesion-malignant-malignant brain tumor in child-mass-medical-medical imaging-medicine-medulloblastoma-mr-mr brain-mr pediatric brain-mri-mri head-mri of medulloblastoma-mri of pnet-mri of posterior fossa pnet-neoplasm-obstructive-obstructive hydrocephalus-pediatric-pediatric brain lesion-pnet-posterior fossa-tonsilar-tonsilar herniation-tumor-unhealthy-ventricle-vermian-vermian massModel release:N/AParent folder:17739
