Central neurocytoma—positive and differential diagnosis: An example through a case report

Central neurocytoma is a rare intraventricular tumor, occurring typically in the lateral ventricle of young adults. It is considered as a neuronal-glial benign tumor with favorable prognosis. Imaging is a cornerstone allowing the accurate preoperative diagnosis on the basis of several characteristic...

description Central neurocytoma is a rare intraventricular tumor, occurring typically in the lateral ventricle of young adults. It is considered as a neuronal-glial benign tumor with favorable prognosis. Imaging is a cornerstone allowing the accurate preoperative diagnosis on the basis of several characteristic features. We report the case of a 31-year-old man who has been complaining of progressive headaches and in whom brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed a central neurocytoma. We remind then, through a literature review, the main criteria to set the diagnosis of this tumor and rule out the other possible diagnoses.
