Here, we describe such a lesion in a 12-year-old male. Case Description: A 12-year-old male presented with headache, ataxia, and vomiting. When Magnetic resonance studies documented a posterior fossa lesion, he underwent placement of a right ventriculoperitoneal shunt followed by a suboccipital craniectomy. The lesion proved to be a primary gliosarcoma. Unfortunately, it recurred 2 years later and required repeated resection. Conclusion: Here, we reviewed the rare case of a 12-year-old male requiring shunt placement and suboccipital craniectomy for a primary gliosarcoma that recurred 2 years later.","thumbnailUrl":"https://sni-digital-videos.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/b57f44a5-d904-43e6-9329-ebb036d4a7a7/featured/hero-1781563475081.png","publishDate":"2020-05-09T00:00:00.000Z","doi":"10.25259/SNI_274_2019","categories":["Neuro-oncology","Case Report"],"fullTextUrl":"https://surgicalneurologyint.com/api/articles/b57f44a5-d904-43e6-9329-ebb036d4a7a7/pdf"}
