    AbstractA case of successful combination chemotherapy using cisplatinum, vinblastine, and bleomycin (PVB therapy) to treat medulloblastoma disseminated by cerebrospinal fluid is presented. In this case, a locally recurrent tumor and several disseminated tumors were seen to decrease in size on CT examinations. Pain in the lower extremities and urinary incontinence improved during three courses of PVB therapy administered during a period of 9 weeks. These results suggest that combination PVB therapy may offer one of the treatments of choice for recurrent or disseminated medulloblastoma.
