ABSTRACT

We report a 10–year old previously healthy girl, who was brought to the Emergency Room because of gastric-content vomit, accompanied by daily headache not associated with physical activity. Her gait was ataxic; there was muscle weakness and right-sided lateralization. A cranial computed tomography showed a mass in the fourth ventricle. A brain magnetic resonance was performed to obtain information on the characteristics and size of the mass prior to surgical treatment. The patient was operated; 90% of the tumor was removed. Histopathologically the tumor was reported a diffuse B-cell lymphoma. The patient is currently under a chemotherapy protocol.
