Pediatric low-grade gliomas encompass a heterogeneous set of tumors of different
histologies. Cerebellar pilocytic astrocytomas occur most frequently followed by …

Introduction Brainstem gliomas have historically been one of the most difficult pediatric
cancers to treat. Tumors arising in the brainstem were once uniformly discounted as …

Object. The majority of intramedullary spinal cord tumors (IMSCT) in children and young
adults are low-grade gliomas. Radical resection of similar tumors in the cerebral hemisphere …

Astrocytomas affect a significant portion of patients with intramedullary tumors. These
infiltratively growing tumors are treated by a variety of methods—biopsy and decompressive …

Intramedullary spinal cord tumors (IMSCTs) of the pediatric population are rare and
comprise thirty-five percent of intraspinal neoplasms. Low-grade astrocytomas predominate; …

Abstract Brainstem tumors comprise 10–20% of all pediatric central nervous system tumors.
The management of these tumors has evolved dramatically in the past century. Once …

Background: The role of surgery in the management of gadolinium-enhancing pediatric
brainstem lesions on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been a matter of open debate …

During the last 2 decades, the management of brain stem gliomas has evolved toward a
more aggressive surgical treatment. Accrued experience with intra-axial lesions has shown …

Object Whereas diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas generally have a short symptom duration
and more cranial nerve involvement, focal brainstem gliomas are commonly low grade, with …

Adult malignant brainstem gliomas (BSGs) are poorly characterized due to their relative
rarity. We have examined histopathologically confirmed cases of adult malignant BSGs to …
