Preferred Label : brain stem neoplasms;
MeSH definition : Benign and malignant intra-axial tumors of the MESENCEPHALON; PONS; or MEDULLA OBLONGATA
of the BRAIN STEM. Primary and metastatic neoplasms may occur in this location. Clinical
features include ATAXIA, cranial neuropathies (see CRANIAL NERVE DISEASES), NAUSEA,
hemiparesis (see HEMIPLEGIA), and quadriparesis. Primary brain stem neoplasms are
more frequent in children. Histologic subtypes include GLIOMA; HEMANGIOBLASTOMA; GANGLIOGLIOMA;
and EPENDYMOMA.;
