=====Germinoma of the medulla oblongata=====
Budohoski et al. describe a case of primary intracranial [[medulla oblongata]] [[germinoma]] in a 23-year-old female who presented with deteriorating balance and mobility. Imaging demonstrated an exophytic lesion arising from the dorsal medulla oblongata and extending into the [[fourth ventricle]]. The tissue sample was obtained via [[suboccipital craniotomy]] and a diagnosis of a primary medullary germinoma was made. The patient underwent whole craniospinal axis radiotherapy and remains well and recurrence-free at 1-year follow up.
