    ObjectiveTo determine distribution, localization and frequency variations of astrocytic tumors (AT) in a Mexican Institute of neurology.Materials And MethodsInstitutional registries of AT from five decades were analyzed. AT/ Surgical discharges (SD) and AT/Central Nervous System Tumors (CNST) from 1995 to 2014 were compared.ResultsTwo thousand two hundred and eighty-seven AT (1 356 men and 931 women) were analyzed. The most common glioma was glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), found in young adults with a higher frequency to that reported in other studies. Relation of AT/SD, as well as, relation of AT/CNST was similar between 1995 and 2014.ConclusionsIn general, the frequency of AT worldwide, being higher in the subgroup of young adults with GBM. There was not significant variation in the frequency of AT during the time studied.
