Age: Older child.
From the case:
Brainstem glioma - focal midbrain
{"current_user":null,"step_through_annotations":true,"access":{"can_edit":false,"can_download":true,"can_toggle_annotations":true,"can_feature":false,"can_pin":false},"extraPropsURL":"/studies/7840/annotated_viewer_json?lang=us"}
The midbrain is expanded by a heterogeneous mass with areas of enhancement. Features are those of a midbrain glioma.

Three years later the mass has only marginally enlarged.
Case Discussion
Focal midbrain brainstem glioma demonstrating much more indolent course than the more common diffuse pontine gliomas.
