title: Adult medulloblastoma associated with syringomyelia: a case report.
abstract: The association between cerebellar medulloblastoma and syringomyelia is uncommon and only found in pediatric patients. To date, adult medulloblastoma associated with syringomyelia has not been reported in the literature. Paroxysmal bradycardia is an uncommon clinical manifestation in posterior fossa tumors and likely to be vagally mediated via brainstem preganglionic cardiac motor neurons. This report introduces the diagnosis and treatment of a case of adult medulloblastoma associated with syringomyelia, which presented with paroxysmal bradycardia.
