| Description |
Tectal gliomas are rare adult brainstem gliomas, typically presenting with Sylvian aqueduct compression and resultant obstructive hydrocephalus. In children, these tumors occasionally regress spontaneously like optic pathway gliomas, usually during the first and second decades of life in the setting of Neurofibromatosis Type 1. We report spontaneous regression of an adult tectal glioma. |
