Common physical examination findings of diffuse brainstem gliomas include cranial nerve deficit, pyramidal tract signs, and ataxia whereas that of focal gliomas are diplopia, ophthalmoplegia, Parinaud syndrome, loss of accommodation, and light-near dissociation. The presence of facial sensory loss, dysphagia, and dysphonia on physical examination is diagnostic of cervicomedullary brainstem gliomas.
