摘 要:OBJECT: Brainstem gliomas are common in children and have the worst prognosis of any brain tumor in this age group. On the other hand, brainstem gliomas are rare in adults, and the authors of some clinical studies have suggested that this lesion behaves dif ferently in adults than in children. In the present study, the authors test an orthotopic C6 brainstem glioma model in juvenile and adult rats, and investigate the biological behavior of this lesion in the 2 age groups. METHODS: The C6 glioma cells were stereotacti eally implanted into the pons of juvenile or adult male rats. Neurological presentation and survival time were recorded.
