Diagnosis of medulloblastoma additional to brain MRI
In addition to a brain MRI what other testing should be performed in patients following a diagnosis of medulloblastoma?
Spine MRI and lumbar puncture for CSF cytology should be performed, as one-third of medulloblastomas metastasize throughout the CNS.
Patients with spread of disease into the CSF have been shown to have a worse prognosis.
