Scope note: Tumores intracraneales que se originan en la región del encéfalo situada debajo de la tienda del cerebelo, que contiene el cerebelo, el CUARTO VENTRÍCULO, el ÁNGULO PONTOCEREBELOSO, el TRONCO DEL ENCÉFALO y estructuras relacionadas. Los tumores primarios de esta región son más frecuentes en los niños, y pueden presentarse con ATAXIA, ENFERMEDADES DE LOS PARES CRANEALES, vómitos, CEFALEA, HIDROCEFALIA u otros signos de disfunción neurológica. Los subtipos histológicos relativamente frecuentes son el TERATOMA, el MEDULOBLASTOMA, el GLIOBLASTOMA, el ASTROCITOMA, el EPENDIMOMA, el CRANEOFARINGIOMA y el PAPILOMA DE LOS PLEXOS COROIDEOS.

Scope note: Intracranial tumors originating in the region of the brain inferior to the TENTORIUM CEREBELLI, which contains the cerebellum, FOURTH VENTRICLE; CEREBELLOPONTINE ANGLE; BRAIN STEM, and related structures. Primary tumors of this region are more frequent in children, and may present with ATAXIA; CRANIAL NERVE DISEASES; vomiting; HEADACHE; HYDROCEPHALUS; or other signs of neurologic dysfunction. Relatively frequent histologic subtypes include TERATOMA; MEDULLOBLASTOMA; GLIOBLASTOMA; ASTROCYTOMA; EPENDYMOMA; CRANIOPHARYNGIOMA; and choroid plexus papilloma (PAPILLOMA, CHOROID PLEXUS).
