Gliomas can be categorized in line with whether they're above or underneath a membrane within the brain called the tentorium. The tentorium separates the cerebrum (above) from the cerebellum (underneath).
The supratentorial is above the tentorium, in the cerebrum, and on the whole found in adults (70%).
The infratentorial is below the tentorium, inside the cerebellum, and often discovered in kids (70%).
The pontine tumors are placed within the pons of the brainstem. The brainstem has 3 parts (pons, midbrain, and medulla); the pons controls important capabilities together with respiration, making surgery on those extremely dangerous.
