Abstract
Central neurocytomas are rare benign tumors that are typically located in the lateral ventricles. Because they are typically intraventricular, these tumors tend to present clinically with hydrocephalus. Currently, surgical removal with a gross-total resection is the treatment of choice. Various radiotherapy techniques, including both conventional radiotherapy and stereotactic radiosurgery, have been shown to be useful in cases of residual tumor after subtotal resection and tumor recurrence. This chapter presents a clinical case of central neurocytoma that demonstrates the typical clinical and radiological findings, as well as the diagnostic workup and surgical management of these tumors.
