Presentation
Presentation: The most common presentation of posterior fossa tumors in children is symptomatic elevated ICP secondary to obstructive hydrocephalus. Focal signs are less common. [ispn.guide]
Hemangiopericytoma presenting as massive hemorrhage is quite rare. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Here we present a computer simulations-based study designed to identify new array layouts that could deliver high field intensities concurrently to the supratentorial and infratentorial regions of the brain. [academic.oup.com]
In our case series, one patient presented with a “paradoxical” enlargement of a lesion during early treatment, and another patient presented with transient worsening due to intracranial pressure. [file.scirp.org]
Tumor models are also presented, which utilize expression data, pathway sensitivity, and genetic abnormalities, representing targets in cancer. [books.google.es]

Intracranial hypertension was the most common onset symptom, and astrocytoma was the most common tumor type (10 cases; 31.3%), followed by ependymoma (nine cases; 28.1%) and medulloblastoma (six cases; 18.8%). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Posterior fossa ependymoma presents in younger children and frequently includes symptoms and signs of increased intracranial pressure, such as headache, fatigue, diplopia, papilledema, nausea, vomiting, ataxia, vertigo, head tilt, or neck pain. [clinicaladvisor.com]
It is quite rare that it actually produces vertigo because the slow growth permits ample time for compensation. These tumors are resectable, though larger tumors may leave residual deficit. [dartmouth.edu]

Infratentorial GBM presents with limited surgical treatment options and a poorer prognosis. Computational studies have shown a strong connection between the array layout and the field distribution within the supratentorial region. [academic.oup.com]

Pathophysiology
Peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumors are regarded as distinct entities. [2] Pathophysiology PNET of the CNS can be divided grossly into infratentorial tumors (medulloblastoma or iPNET) and supratentorial tumors (sPNET). [emedicine.medscape.com]
This not only provides a better pathophysiological understanding, but will help clinicians in their therapeutical choices, especially in cases of inoperable tumors. References [1] Albers MJ, Krieger MD, Gonzalez-Gomez I, et al. [em-consulte.com]
Furthermore, we found that BM with central necrosis more often developed in areas with lower blood flow that corresponds to the pathophysiology of tumor necrosis. [frontiersin.org]
