Abstract
Alternate name: Infratentorial brain tumors, Brainstem glioma. Posterior fossa tumor is a type of brain tumor located in or near the bottom of the skull. The posterior fossa is a small space in the skull, found near the brain stem and cerebellum. The cerebellum is the part of the brain responsible for movement. If a tumor grows in the area of the posterior fossa, it can block the flow of spinal fluid and cause increased pressure on the brain and spinal cord. Most of tumors of the posterior fossa are primary brain cancers, which originate in the brain, rather than spreading from elsewhere in the body (Tyson J).
