Preferred Label : infratentorial neoplasms;
MeSH definition : 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).; Intracranial tumors originating in the region of the brain inferior to the TENTORIUM
