Abstract
Brain-stem tumors constitute a rare condition with very bad prognosis. A surgical complete resection of the mass is not possible in most cases, so the principal surgical objetive is reduction and descompression. The best prognosis is seen in patients with low grade tumors with minimal neurologic deficit. Most of these tumors cause death in a short period, usually one year or less.
