Subdural spread of medulloblastoma: case report
Abstract
A case of widespread intracranial subdural invasion by medulloblastoma is presented. The origin of the metastases would seem to be a large subfrontal tumour mass, with dissemination through the subdural space. This appears to be the first report of intracranial spread of tumour by this route.
