Abstract
A case report, with autopsy findings, of a large circumscribed reticulum cell sarcoma of the cerebellum, in a 15 day-old female infant with clinical symptoms from the 8th day of life, and a review in tabular form of histologically confirmed primary intracranial sarcomas during the first year of life are presented. Among 200 intracranial tumours (except for teratomas) in infants up to one year of age, collected from the literature and a personal series of cases, primary sarcomas account for 9,5% and “medulloblastomas” for 15%. The relationship between cerebellar reticulum cell sarcoma and so-called medulloblastoma is briefly discussed. The aetiology of congenital intracranial neoplasms is unknown.
