Medulloblastoma is the most common malignant brain tumour occurring in children, adolescents and young adults. It derives from the neuroectoderm and develops in the cerebellum (80% occur in the vermis and 20% occur in the hemispheres). It accounts for 10 to 20% of brain tumours and for 30% of tumours located in the posterior fossa.
