Overview
Classification
The most frequently used classification system is to divide these tumors into 4 types:[1]
- 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 tumours 5.
