Case Report Central Neurocytoma : Case Report and Literature Review

چکیده
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.

Spinal Neurocytoma: A Case Report and Review of Literature
Since 1982, central neurocytoma has been recognized as a distinct class of central nervous system (CNS) tumors. It has been defined as a typically benign supratentorial mass located within the lateral or the third ventricle.1 Extraventricular locations are extremely rare, especially in the spinal cord, which has been reported in only sporadic cases. In this paper, we report a new pediatric case...
متن کاملPediatric central neurocytoma: Case report and review of literature
Central neurocytomas are slow-growing primary brain tumors of neuronal origin having a predilection to arise mostly in the lateral ventricles. We report a case of a 9-year-old girl who presented with headache and vomiting of 1-month duration. Her magnetic resonance imaging was suggestive of central neurocytoma of the third ventricle and was surgically managed, and tumor tissue was sent for hist...
متن کاملCentral neurocytoma presenting with intraventricular hemorrhage: case report and review of literature.
We report a case of a 25 year old man presenting with acute headache, vomiting and nuchal rigidity. Computed Tomography (CT) scan and MRI without contrast showed a right ventricular hemorrhage surrounding a mass lesion. The tumor and hematoma were completely removed by neurosurgical transcortical-transventricular approach. Anatomopathological analysis revealed a central neurocytoma. Central neu...
متن کاملIntramedullary central neurocytoma of the thoracic spinal cord: A case report and literature review
Central neurocytomas (CNs) are rare benign tumors located in the central nervous system with a good prognosis. These tumors are predominantly located in the lateral ventricle near the foramen of Monro or in the third ventricle. Similar tumors that are located outside the ventricle are also called extraventricular neurocytomas, and have an even lower morbidity. Until now, several tumors have bee...
متن کاملReview of the Aspergillosis and Report A Case of its Central Nervous System
SUMMARY Because Aspergillus SP. are one of the most common airborne fungal contaminants in all parts of the world, the incidence of Aspergillosis is relatively high, but will not be diagnosed in some cases. In this survey we decided to review the importance of Aspergillosis and also to report a case of its Central Nervous system involvement in a patient without Immunodeficiency.
