Sumario:An 18-year-old woman gradually developed speech and gait disturbance for seven months. On admission, she presented with cerebellar ataxia and tetraparesis. Magnetic resonance images showed diffuse hyperintense lesions around the fourth ventricle in FLAIR, in addition to lesions of nodular diffusion restriction with enhancement. Heavily T2-weighted images revealed small cystic appearance within this lesion. We diagnosed her as classical medulloblastoma by open brain biopsy. We should consider medulloblastoma as a differential diagnosis of these characteristics around the fourth ventricle, even if magnetic resonance findings are atypical in point of no mass effect and heterogeneous enhancement.
