Abstract
An infant who experienced disseminated relapse of medulloblastoma while rec eiving chemotherapy is described. He was subsequently treated with radiatio n therapy. Seven and one-half years from diagnosis, he is currently disease -free and enjoys a relatively normal life. We emphasize the importance of c onsidering radiation as one of the treatment modalities for young children with relapsed medulloblastoma.
