  • In kids tumors tend to be infratentorial; more common tumors include astrocytomas, medulloblastomas, craniopharyngiomas, brainstem gliomas, and ependymomas in the 4th ventricle

  • In adults, tumors tend to be supratentorial; more common ones include glioblastomas and meningiomas

  • The most common brain tumors are metastatic; the most common primary brain tumors are gliomas (with astrocytomas being the most common of these)
