Rapidly progressive medulloblastoma initially mimicking idiopathic intracranial hypertension and Chiari I malformation: A case report.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionMedulloblastoma (MDB) often causes signs and symptoms of elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) with imaging findings of mass lesion. Here, we report a case of MDB who initially presented with clinical features imitating idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) and Chiari I malformation (CIM). CASE PRESENTATION: A 19-year-old man had clinical symptoms of elevated ICP without mass lesion on imaging. He was initially diagnosed with IIH and CIM, which underwent shunt surgery and posterior fossa decompression. Later on, he had recurrent symptoms, and the new imaging revealed the development of MDB in the right cerebellar hemisphere. After tumor resection, the patient rapidly deteriorated with spinal metastases. DISCUSSION AND
conclusionManagement of the coexistence between IIH and CIM in patients with rising ICP is complicated. MDB is one of the aggressive malignant brain tumors showing a wide range of imaging features, including non-enhancing mass. Therefore, recognizing the possibility of brain tumors mimicking IIH or CIM is crucial.
