Hello.

Brain tumors do not go away without treatment. Some tumors may not grow at all. There are many people who live their lives without even having a hint that they have a brain tumor.

Other tumors which produce symptoms have to be treated.

If the tumor is growing then surgery is required.

Hello.

There is one reference that I have found out which reports spontaneous regression of a brainstem (midbrain is a art of the brainstem) cavernoma. A cavernoma is a tangle of abnormal capillary growth.

Here's the link (quite long)
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15680664?ordinalpos=2&itool=EntrezSystem2.PEntrez.Pubmed.Pubmed_ResultsPanel.Pubmed_RVDocSum

Apart from this one reference, I could not find any reports of a non-surgical management. And the experience with patients with tumors in the pots, medulla oblongata tells that these tumors lead to obstruction of the CSF flow, further leading to raised intracranial pressure.

Regards
