Abstract

Central neurocytoma presents as a tumor located in the third ventricle, destroying the anterior part of the fornix, the septum pelucidum, invading lateral ventricle. The patients may have symptoms of amnesic and behavior disturbances; headache and clinical evidence of raised intracranial pressure. Differential diagnosis must be established with ependimomas, astrocytomas, intraventricular oligodendromas or primary cerebral neuroblastomas – diagnosis is made by CT or MRI, electron microscopy and immunohistochemical methods. This case report describes a central neurocytoma in a 16 year old patient, the signs and symptoms, imaging (Computed Tomography and Magnetic Nuclear Resonance), histopathological and immunohistochemistry analysis and the treatment applied.
