Abstract
Because radiation benefits about 50 percent of patients with brain stem glioma, early diagnosis is important. Diagnosing such lesions is not difficult if multiple cranial nerve palsies and long motor tract and cerebellar signs exist. However, unusual neurologic features, as shown in four cases presented here, may suggest a different cause and thus delay correct diagnosis.
