 ==Overview==
+The cause of brain stem gliomas has not been identified.
 ==Causes==
+The cause of brain stem gliomas has not been identified.
-Although no familial tendency is prominent overall, an increased incidence of brainstem glioma has been observed consistently in patients with [[neurofibromatosis]] (up to 14% in some reports).
-Thus far, no genetic or molecular markers have been recognized for brainstem gliomas.
-In children [[Irradiation|irradiated]] for [[tinea capitis]], an increased incidence of CNS tumors, especially [[meningiomas]], [[glioma]]s, and nerve sheath tumors, has been reported. No specific reference is made in these reports to tumors of the brain stem.
