Overview

On angiography, brainstem glioma patients may show anterior displacement of the basilar artery.

Angiography: It may show anterior displacement of the basilar artery.
Other tests, including positron emission tomography (PET), magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) have not shown to be reliable in distinguishing necrosis from tumor recurrence in brainstem gliomas.
