title: Craniosynostosis in association with medulloblastoma.
abstract: A case of a 13-month-old boy with craniosynostosis associated with medulloblastoma was presented. Sagittal suture was prematurely closed, and coronal and lambdoid sutures were widely separated. A large infiltrative tumor in the midcerebellar region was partially removed and treated by irradiation and chemotherapy. A review of the current literature failed to reveal a similar report.
