Overview

Brainstem gliomas may be classified into four subtypes: diffuse, focal, dorsal exophytic, and cervicomedullary.

Focal brainstem glioma
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
exophytic
 
 
 
 
 
 
Cervicomedullary
 

Brainstem gliomas may be classified into 4 subtypes:

  • Diffuse brainstem glioma
  • Focal brainstem glioma
    • Tectal plate glioma
    • Other focal gliomas
  • (Dorsally) exophytic
  • Cervicomedullary
    • Probably an artificial group made up of the downward extension of true brainstem gliomas or upward extension of upper cervical cord intramedullary spinal cord tumors.
