Ninja Nerds!

In this episode of the Ninja Nerd Podcast, Zach and Rob explore the complex world of Brain Tumors. We explore the key types of brain tumors—both primary and metastatic—and examine their clinical implications through high-yield pathophysiology, neuroanatomy, and diagnostic principles.

The discussion begins with an overview of tumor classification, distinguishing between supratentorial and infratentorial masses, and covers the most common tumors seen in adults versus children. Zach then breaks down the characteristic features, origins, and imaging findings of high-yield tumors like glioblastoma, meningioma, schwannoma, and brain metastases—including a patient case involving adenocarcinoma with metastasis to the brain. For pediatric tumors, we highlight medulloblastoma, ependymoma, and pilocytic astrocytoma, focusing on their clinical presentations and radiographic findings.

We’ll also discuss the signs and symptoms associated with increased intracranial pressure, focal neurologic deficits, and paraneoplastic syndromes. Finally, the episode reviews diagnostic strategies and introduces key treatment principles, including surgical resection, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, depending on tumor type and location.

This episode is packed with clinically relevant material to help you crush your exams and prepare for real-world applications.

🎧 Listen, learn, and laugh as we tackle brain tumors—one neuron at a time.
