Abstract EN
New groups of high-grade neuroepithelial tumours (HGNET) have emerged from the reclassification of central nervous system (CNS) embryonal tumours that have recognised CNS HGNET with BCOR alteration (CNS HGNET-BCOR).
We report a two-year, nine-month-old Omani boy who presented to the Royal Hospital, Muscat, Oman, in 2015 with subacute head tilting and neck pain.
A well-defined cerebellar lesion was found and he was treated with standard chemoradiotherapy.
After a relapse at the age of five years, molecular testing revealed a BCOR alteration.
He was treated with further surgery and high-dose chemotherapy; unfortunately, he relapsed and died three years after he was diagnosed
