Abstract
Central neurocytoma is a rare tumor of neuronal differentiation which is typically seen in young adults. Here, we report a case of a 25Â years old female patient who presented with central neurocytoma of the third ventricle. Sub-total resection of the tumor was carried out via left parieto-occipital craniotomy. Afterwards, the patient received conventional radiotherapy (i.e., 54Â Gy/27 fractions). We observed marked improvement in terms of tumor size reduction (i.e., from 5.2Â ÃÂ 4.8Â cm2 to 3.4Â ÃÂ 2.1Â cm2; â¼71%) and patient performance status.
