Pontine Glioma. A diffuse pontine glioma or brainstem glioma is a high-grade, or malignant, tumor. Diffuse pontine gliomas generally have a short duration (median 1 month) of symptoms prior to diagnosis, reflecting the rapid growth of these tumors. Common symptoms include cranial neuropathies, hemiparesis, hydrocephalus and raised intracranial tension. Treatment consists of radiotherapy. |
