    Abstract:
    Astrocytoma arising from the tectum of the mesencephalon is an unusual tumor that is different from other brain stem tumors in clinical features. We describe two patients with tectal low-grade astrocytoma. Each patient underwent CSF diversion and biopsy followed by radiation therapy. A review of the literature on the clinical, radiographic, and pathological findings and the management of tectal tumor is presented.
