Medulloblastomas are invasive, unexpectedly developing tumors that, in contrast to most brain tumors, spread via the cerebrospinal fluid and often metastasize to exceptional places alongside the surface of the brain and spinal twine. Metastasis all of the way right down to the cauda equina at the base of the spinal twine is called "drop metastasis".

The cumulative relative survival rate for all age groups and histology observe-up was 60%, 52%, and 47% at 5 years, 10 years, and 20 years, respectively, with children doing higher than adults.
