An analysis of recent experiences for the brain stem glioma with surgery and autopsy established confirmation of the characteristic symptoms and signs, and of diagnostic criterias of Conray-ventriculogram and vertebral-angiogram.
The cases consisted of 2 cases of exophytic brain stem glioma and 4 cases of pontomedullary glioma, and 5 of 6 patients had the signs of the increased intracranial pressure in this cases. A resurgence of interest in the Conray ventriculogram has been produced by cut-off sign of aqueduct of Sylvius in 2 cases of the exophytic brain stem glioma.
