Overview
Brainstem gliomas must be differentiated from medulloblastoma, pineoblastoma, ependymoma, stroke, infection and demyelination.
Differentiating brain stem gliomas from other diseases
Brain stem gliomas must be differentiated from:[1]
- Primitive neuroectodermal tumour of the CNS (Medulloblastoma, Pineoblastoma)
- Ependymoma
- Stroke
- Infection
- Demyelination (Multiple sclerosis, Guillain-Barre Syndrome, Transverse myelitis)
- Rhombencephalitis
- Acute demyelinating encephalomyelitis (ADEM)
- Neurofibromatosis type I (NF1)
- Tuberous sclerosis (TS)
- Osmotic demyelination
- Langerhans cell histiocytosis
- Hamartoma
