Overview
In the era preceding modern imaging, all brainstem gliomas were regarded as a solitary pathological entity with poor prognosis.[1] In the late 1960s, Matson suggested that all brainstem tumors were malignant and were deemed inoperable regardless of their histopathological characteristics or location. [2]This assertion was questioned shortly thereafter by Pool, who was one of the first to report tumor resection in the brainstem, which in the case described was inside the aqueduct. [3] In 1980, Hoffman et. al [4] described the dorsally exophytic group of brainstem gliomas as a distinct subgroup, and reported that these lesions were surgically curable with aggressive resection. Over the past 3 decades, the treatment of brainstem gliomas has notably progressed as a result of the gradual advancements in microsurgical techniques, sophisticated imaging technology and, most importantly, the availability of MRI. These modalities have revealed that brainstem gliomas are a heterogeneous group of tumors. [5]
