Brainstem gliomas are more common in the paediatric age group as compared to adults. They have variable clinical presentations, which can range from mild to severe. Radiographic appearance on MRI, anatomical location, and molecular pathology plays a key role in management and prognostication. A multidisciplinary approach based upon the extent and type of tumour is followed. In our study, we have reported 3 such cases who presented in different ways and were diagnosed as brainstem glioma. We have also discussed various modalities of investigation and management.
