Intraventricular neurocytomas (IVNs) are rare tumors of neuronal differentiation, accounting for 0.1% to 0.5% of all primary brain tumors. Complete surgical resection is highly recommended, but at least one-third to…

Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) has evolved into a mainstay in the primary and adjuvant management of most intracranial tumors. Central neurocytomas are rare, usually benign, intraventricular tumors that can be challenging…

Angiographic findings suggest that central neurocytoma (CN) might originate from neuronal cells of the subventricular zone (SVZ) around the foramen of Monro rather than from the septum pellucidum. The majority…

Central neurocytoma (CN) is a well-differentiated tumor of neural cells occurring within the ventricles. It is composed of monomorphic cells with round, regular nuclei within clear cytoplasm and must be…

Central neurocytoma (CN) is an important consideration in the differential diagnosis of any intraventricular lesion. Initial evaluation should include noncontrast CT, MRI with and without gadolinium contrast, and magnetic resonance…

Central neurocytomas (CNs) are rare central nervous system tumors that occur in the lateral ventricles. They are prevalent in young adults and are typically benign with excellent prognosis following surgical…

The establishment and identification of central neurocytoma as a distinct disease entity are invaluable in catalyzing investigations of neuronal differentiation in central nervous system tumors. The discovery of neuronal differentiation…
