Médulloblastome of the Child and After-effects Cognitive: Study Anatomo-functional by IRM of the Working Memory


The functional study should make it possible to show the specifically committed networks
according to the cognitive tasks. Among patients, the relative difficulty to carry out the
tasks of working memory should be accompanied by a recruitment of the dorso-side cortex
préfrontal, lower and parietal frontal cortex but also of the median frontal areas such as
the additional driving surface, the former cingulum. Moreover, one deterioration of the
engagement of the cérébello-cerebral network (left lower parietal cortex and cérébelleux
cortex lower right) facilitating the execution of these tasks should be observed.
