Medulloblastoma is a not unusual form of primary brain cancer in kids. It originates within the part of the mind that is toward the again and the bottom, on the floor of the cranium, within the cerebellum, or posterior fossa.

The mind is divided into  major parts, the bigger cerebrum on pinnacle and the smaller cerebellum underneath towards the lower back. They are separated by means of a membrane known as the tentorium. Tumors that originate inside the cerebellum or the encircling region below the tentorium are, therefore, referred to as infratentorial.

Historically medulloblastomas have been classified as a primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET), however it's miles now acknowledged that medulloblastoma is distinct from supratentorial PNETs and they are now not considered comparable entities.
