I am so sorry you and your son are dealing with this surprise report. Of course better to talk to the neurologist. What kind of "complex migraine," what were the symptoms? My daughter has complex migraines and a seizure disorder. She has had brain surgery for another reason. I will PM you.

ps I just looked up the terms. Looks like ependymoma is an often benign tumor that may or may not mean surgery. The report seems to say that is more statistically likely. That would be good, I guess, depending on details.:

Medulloblasoma is a cancer that seems to be located in the cerebellum . https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/medulloblastoma/cdc-20363524 Is he having balance or coordination issues?

Thank you for your quick and thoughtful response.
His symptoms were very bad headache, dizzy, vomiting, incoherent speech, vision problems. This is the first time recently that this has happened in such severity. He had it 2 other times in his teens. Otherwise, his migraines are managable...they come and go. He is very active and works full time while going to school. This episode shut him down for 2 weeks.
