Extradural metastases in a case of medulloblastoma.
Extradural metastases in medulloblastoma appear to be rare. We describe a case associated with use of a lumbar drain and propose that in this situation, adjuvant chemotherapy and possibly extension of the radiotherapy field to include the entire sacral epidural fat-space to the lower border of S5, should be considered.
