Pons Glioma

A “pons glioma” refers to a glioma tumor located in the pons, which is a part of the brainstem.

The location of a pons glioma can make surgical intervention particularly challenging due to the critical functions of the pons and the intricate anatomy of the brainstem. The treatment approach for a pons glioma often depends on factors such as the tumor's size, location, and grade, as well as the overall health of the patient.
