Abstract

Germinomas are malignant intracranial germ cell tumors, usually found in pineal region. These tumors are exquisitely sensitive to radiation. Whole ventricle radiation (RT) with a boost field to the primary tumor is the standard treatment for localized germinoma. A 5m old infant came to our department of Paediatrics as a case of Congenital hydrocephalous diagnosed to be Cerebral Germinoma.

Keywords: Congenital Hydrocephalous, Germinoma.
