title: Undifferentiated gliomas of the brain stem.
abstract: Undifferentiated gliomas of the brain stem were confirmed surgically in two young children. The patients were treated by aggressive irradiation of the entire neuraxis, similar to that administered for medulloblastoma. Therapy resulted in a good prognosis and there was no tumor recurrence.
