CENTRAL NEUROCYTOMA - A CASE REPORT
Abstract
Central neurocytoma is a rare neoplasm
accounting for less than 1 percent of all
intracranial tumours. It most commonly
grows into the lateral or third ventricle from
the septum pellucidum or foramen of
Monro. It is the most common neoplasm
involving septum pellucidum in young
adults. Here we present a case of central
neurocytoma diagnosed in a 26 year old
female because of its rarity.
