Overview
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 was noted with peak incidence rates in children (aged 7-9 years; most common) and among older adults (aged 30-40; rare) is seen.[1]
Gender
There appears to be a similar incidence in both males and females.[2]
Race
No racial predilection is seen in brainstem glioma cases.
