Ependymomas are glial tumors that arise from the ependymal cells that line the ventricles and the central canal of the spinal cord, mostly located in the fourth ventricle. These tumors commonly affect children aged 1–5 years, though can be found in young adults. Like astrocytomas, ependymomas are graded based on histological characteristics, with grade 1 representing subapendymoma/myxopapillary ependymoma, grade 2 representing ependymoma, and grade 3 representing anaplastic ependymoma.
