Overview
The incidence of brainstem gliomas is estimated to be 0.05 - 0.1 cases per 100,000 individuals in USA. A bimodal distribution by age is noted with peak incidences rates in children and older adults. The prevalence and incidence of brainstem gliomas do not vary by either race or gender.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
The incidence of brainstem gliomas is 0.05 - 0.1 per 100,000 individuals per year.
Age
A bimodal distribution by age is noted with peak incidence rates in children (aged 7-9 years; most common) and among older adults (aged 30-40; rare) is seen.[1] The diffuse infiltrating type occur most often in school-age children where they are responsible for the greatest number of childhood deaths from primary brain tumors. [3]
Gender
There is no gender predilection to the development of brainstem glioma.[1]
Race
There is no racial predilection to the development of brainstem glioma.
