Diagnosing medulloblastoma typically involves a combination of clinical evaluation and imaging studies. The process often includes:
- A thorough neurological examination - Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to visualize the tumor - Computerized Tomography (CT) scans for additional imaging details - Lumbar puncture or spinal tap to check for the presence of cancer cells in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) - Biopsy to confirm the diagnosis and determine the tumor subtype
