Central Neurocytoma: Case Report and Literature Review
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Intraventricular neoplasms are readily seen on cross-sectional images,consideration of the tissue within and the clinical findings provide the means to limit the differential diagnosis when analyzing an intraventricular mass on an imaging study. Central neurocytomas are rare, slow-growing, intraventricular tumors that are of neuronal origin, typically located in the lateral ventricles, near the foramen of Monro with characteristic imaging features. Central neurocytoma is a slow growing, benign neoplasm with a favorable prognosis and by using clinical and imaging findings one can significantly limit the differential diagnosis. Keywords: Central Neurocytoma, Intraventricular Neoplasm, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Cross-sectional Imaging.
