Abstract
Medulloblastomas are usually in desmoplastic type in adults. This type of medulloblastoma is generally a well-circumscribed tumor. In this
report we present an adult patient with desmoplastic medulloblastoma with atypical appearance on magnetic resonance imaging mimicking
cerebellar infarction, infectious or demyelinating diseases. He was followed for atypical radiological imaging with misdiagnoses of those
diseases. However, histological diagnosis was desmoplastic type medulloblastoma.
