  ABSTRACT: Cerebellopontine angle (CPA) medulloblastomas (MB) are rare lesions with few cases previously described in the literature. We report one more case of CPA MB. The patient was a (36)-year-old female with a mass developing in the CPA. The preoperative radiological diagnosis was (hemangioblastoma) in the case. The patient was operated in Tripoli university hospital September 2020 neurosurgical department. Operated through a (retrosigmoid) approach. The intraoperative findings revealed an extra-axial tumor and the histological diagnosis was classic type of MB in the case. We review the literature and discuss pathological, radiological features and clinical follow up of CPA MB, underlining the necessity to consider MB in the differential diagnosis of CPA lesions.
