There are many different pediatric brain tumor types and classifications based upon the tumor’s cell structure, composition, rate of growth, location, and other characteristics. A child’s tumor may have the same microscopic appearance to an adult tumor, but the mutations that cause its growth are completely different.
Medulloblastoma- A primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNETs) is the most common malignant brain tumor of childhood (WHO IV)
arising from the vermis in the inferior medullary velum.
It comprises up to 18% of all pediatric brain tumors.
WNT and Shh pathway plays major role in its pathogenesis.
c-erbB-2 (HER2/neu) oncogene expression has prognostic value. Norcantharidin, Vismodegib, Sonidegib are the future in medulloblastoma.

In this presentation we will dscuss the imp imaging features of Posterior fossa tumors in pediatric age group.
Medulloblastoma
Pilocytic Astrocytoma
Ependymoma
Brainstem Glioma
Schwanoma
Meningioma
Epidermoid Cyst
Arachnoid Cyst
Gliomas are the commonest tumor of brain arising from the supportive cells of the brain with diverse form and presentation the treatment of which is surgical and demands adjuvant therapy for most of circumstances.

Birth Injuries are the common complications of Instrumental Delivery. So intrapartum management should be done very carefully in ordered to ensure healthy and good outcome of baby.
32. Epidermoid cysts, also known as "pearly tumors”
because of their bright white appearance at intraoperative resection, developed from epithelial
inclusions in basal cisterns, diploe of the skull and,
very rarely in the intrinsic brainstem or pineal region,
during neural tube closure or formation of secondary
cerebral vesicles. They are not really tumors, their
growth is due to the continuous formation of the
keratohyalin from continued desquamation by the
epithelium tissue. Their growth is very slow, so the
onset of their clinical manifestations is variable
between 20 and
40 years in most of the cases.
43. Supratentorial ependymoma in a 10-year-old girl on a noncontrast CT, b T2-weighted, c
FLAIR, and d–f postgadolinium T1-weighted MRI. Unlike posterior fossa ependymomas,
most supratentorial ependymomas (70%) are extraventricular in origin.
44. Supra-tentorial grade 2 ependymoma in a 12-year-old girl. a Axial
FLAIR, b axial perfusion MRI, c post-contrast axial T1, d axial cerebral
blood volume map derived from perfusion MRI, e axial ADC coefficient,
and f perfusion MRI T2*-weighted dynamic susceptibility .
