title: Ganglioneuroblastoma of the cerebellum: neuroimaging and pathological features of a case.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report a case of ganglioneuroblastoma of cerebellum, with emphasis to the neuroimaging and pathological findings.
  
  
  METHODS
  A one year and eight-month-old girl presented with a two-month history of hypoactivity and tremor in the legs. The MRI showed an enhancing cerebellar mass hypointense on T1 and hyperintense on T2-weighted images. The patient underwent a craniotomy with resection of the lesion. The histological and immunohistochemical studies defined the diagnosis of ganglioneuroblastoma.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The MRI findings of our case showed no features which could help in the differentiation between ganglioneuroblastoma and the other common types of posterior fossa neoplasms in the pediatric population.
