Scope note: Tumores intraaxiales, benignos y malignos, del MESENCÉFALO, PUENTE o BULBO RAQUÍDEO del TRONCO ENCEFÁLICO. En estas localizaciones pueden existir neoplasias primarias y metastásicas. Las características clínicas comprenden ATAXIA, neuropatías de los pares craneales (ver ENFERMEDADES DE LOS NERVIOS CRANEALES), NÁUSEAS, hemiparesia (ver HEMIPLEJÍA) y cuadriparesia. Las neoplasias primarias del tronco encefálico son más frecuentes en los niños. Los subtipos histológicos comprenden el GLIOMA, el HEMANGIOBLASTOMA, el GANGLIOGLIOMA y el EPENDIMOMA.

Scope note: 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.
