ABSTRACT
We present one adult patient with medulloblastoma who developed polysomnographically documented obstructive sleep apnea after posterior fossa surgery. The sleep apnea worsened in conjunction with clinical and imaging-confirmed neoplastic progression and clinically improved after craniospinal radiation therapy. Medulloblastoma or its surgical treatment has never before been implicated in a sleep-related breathing disorder. We discuss possible mechanisms for its occurrence and management implications.
