    Author: Pruthi N, Devi BI, Shivshankar JJ, Pandey P.
    Journal: Acta Neurochir (Wien); 2007 Nov; 149(11):1179-81; discussion 1181. PubMed ID: 17906968.
    Abstract:
    Midline posterior fossa mass lesions in young adults are usually medulloblastomas, pilocytic astrocytomas, haemangioblastomas or ependymomas. We present clinical, imaging and intraoperative findings of an abscess occurring within the fourth ventricle which was associated with right chronic suppurative otitis media and right transverse sinus thrombosis. The possible pathogenesis is discussed.
