Tumors of the pons.

Abstract:

:Advances in imaging have made possible confident diagnosis of infiltrative pontine gliomas without biopsy. When the diagnosis is in doubt, stereotactic biopsy is the procedure of choice. Surgical intervention is restricted to tumors with a dorsally exophytic component and other rare circumstances.
