AB  - A 19-year-old woman presented with left-sided sensorineural hearing loss. She was 
      found to have a left cerebellopontine angle tumour, thought to be an acoustic 
      neuroma on MRI, and was treated with radiosurgery. There was no evidence of 
      tumour on MRI at 6 months. After 1 year, she was admitted with further 
      neurological symptoms. Repeat MRI showed multiple craniospinal tumours. Biopsy of 
      the cerebellar tumour revealed it to be a primitive neuroectodermal tumour 
      (PNET). This is a rare tumour in this age group and its management is discussed.
