Abstract

A rare case of teratoma occurring in the fourth ventricle of an elderly adult was reported. Seventeen reported cases of teratoma in the posterior fossa were reviewed with our present case, among which 6 teratomas were found in the fourth ventricle. The differential diagnosis from the other tumors was easy in this case with CT scan.
