Explain of CNS Pathology

103.Cerebellum, cystic astrocytoma, gross

Here is a cystic astrocytoma of the cerebellum in a child. Most childhood brain tumors arise below the tentorium, which is the reverse of the adult. Gliomas in children, therefore, are most common in the posterior fossa. They are often cystic (so-called "juvenile astrocytomas").
