A medulloblastoma is a malignant brain tumour that develops in the cerebellum, the part of the brain at the back that controls coordination. It is more common in children but can happen in adults. An MRI may show a mass in this region consistent with a medulloblastoma. Finding a medulloblastoma early may allow for prompt treatment before it spreads through the cerebrospinal fluid. MRI is the preferred modality for assessing posterior fossa tumours including medulloblastoma, and is used for both diagnosis and staging.
