Abstract

Posterior fossa (PF) tumors are a common cause of obstructive hydrocephalus. In adults, metastases are the most common tumors in PF. Among the primary neoplasms, the most common are meningioma, vestibular schwannoma, and hemangioblastoma. Glial tumors are the most prevalent in children and adolescents, followed by medulloblastoma and ependymomas.
