Overview

On head CT scan, medulloblastoma is characterized by a hyperdense mass arising from the cerebellar vermis, effacement of the fourth ventricle, and dilated ventricles due to obstructive hydrocephalus.^[1]

CT Scan

On head CT scan, medulloblastoma is characterized by:^[1]

A hyperdense mass arising from the cerebellar vermis
Effacement of the fourth ventricle and basal cisterns
Dilated ventricles due to obstructive hydrocephalus
Cysts formation and necrosis are observed among 40-50% of cases
Calcification is observed among 10-20% of cases
