Abstract

An 8-year-old girl experienced five repeated hemorrhagic episodes around the cerebellar vermis. Surgical specimens histologically showed abnormal vascular components invaded by tumor cells. Autopsy disclosed medulloblastoma disseminating in the subependymal zone of the ventricles. An atypical clinical course is reported with special attention to the cause of hemorrhage.
