    Résumé

    In the process of establishing a methodology for individualized remediation programmes in children treated for cerebellar tumour, this study followed prospectively over 11 years a young child treated for a medulloblastoma at 18 months of age throughout the rehabilitation process. Repeated neuropsychological and academic evaluations evidenced temporary disruptive behaviour, deficient manual and visual abilities, attention and working memory difficulties, but preserved language abilities, in relation with vermian and left cerebellar damage. However, the described remediation programmes and interventions allowed the child to have fluent progression in school. Limits and benefits of rehabilitation are discussed.
