Abstract :
<p>&lt;p&gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;OBJECTIVE: To investigate the prevalence of infratentorial tumors and their age and gender&amp;amp;ndash; wise distribution of the lesions. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A retrospective review of pediatric primary infratentorial ain tumors, encountered over 3 years (January 2013 to December 2015). RESULTS: Study includes 32 pediatric infratentorial tumors. Male to female ratio were 1.9:1. The cases were divided into 5 age groups each covering three years of life (0&amp;amp;ndash;2, 3&amp;amp;ndash;5, 6&amp;amp;ndash;8,9&amp;amp;ndash;11 and 12&amp;amp;ndash;14 years). Most of the patients were in age group 3 (40.6%)and the least number of patients were found in age group 1 (6.25%) and 4 (12.5%). The 32 tumors were categorized based on histology and morphological basis. The most frequent tumor was medulloblastoma (56%) followed by ependymoma (18%). CONCLUSION: Demographic and histopathological profile of cohort in the present study do not differ substantially from that found in other hospital&amp;amp;ndash;based and population&amp;amp;ndash;based studies except for slight higher frequency of ependymoma.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;/p&gt;</p>
