Abstract
Atipical teratoid rhabdoid tumor (ATRT) is a rare and highly
agressive malign tumor in the early childhood. Mean survival
has been reported as 6-11 months. Despite the optimal treatment
is unclear surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy are
the well known treatment options. We would like to report a 4
year old boy who had the diagnosis of ATRT at the temporooccipital
region to make a contribution to the literature.

Keywords: Atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor; brain tumor; childhood
