What are the Types of Primary CNS Tumors?

Primary CNS tumors can be broadly classified into several types based on their origin and behavior. The most common types include:
- Gliomas, which originate from glial cells and include subtypes such as astrocytomas, oligodendrogliomas, and ependymomas.
- Meningiomas, arising from the meninges, the protective layers surrounding the brain and spinal cord.
- Medulloblastomas, which are highly malignant and often occur in children.
- Pituitary adenomas, originating from the pituitary gland.
