The brain stem connects the brain to the spinal cord. It is the lowest portion of the brain, above the back of the neck. The brain stem controls many of the body's basic functions, such as motor and sensory activity, coordination and walking, and heart and respiratory functions. It has three parts:

• The midbrain, which develops from the middle of the brain


• The medulla oblongata, which connects to the spinal cord


• The pons, which is located between the medulla oblongata and the midbrain

Most brain stem tumors develop in the pons. A glioma is a tumor that grows from a glial cell, which is a supportive cell in the brain.

Brain stem glioma is most often diffused (spread freely) through the brain stem by the time of diagnosis. This type of tumor is very aggressive. A small percentage of brain stem tumors are very localized or focal tumors. Focal tumors often are low-grade (the cells look close to normal) tumors, and behave in a more benign (less aggressive) fashion.

Brain stem glioma tends to occur in children between five and 10 years old. Most tumors grow in a part of the brain stem that can be difficult to perform surgery in, making brain stem glioma challenging to treat.
