ABSTRACT

El Neurocitoma Central es un tumor benigno infrecuente del Sistema Nervioso Central que afecta principalmente a adultos jóvenes. Clínicamente se manifiesta con síntomas neurológicos debido a la hipertensión intracraneana. Para establecer el diagnóstico es necesario el uso de estudios de imagen, histopatología e inmunohistoquímica. El tratamiento de elección es la resección quirúrgica total, acompañada en casos selectos de radioterapia y quimioterapia. El pronóstico que generalmente es bueno depende del porcentaje de resección quirúrgica y de las características inmunohistoquímicas del tumor. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo reportar un caso de un tumor neuroepitelial de baja incidencia y actualizar el manejo diagnóstico y terapéutico. Se presenta el caso de una paciente afrodescendiente de 22 años con un Neurocitoma Central atípico intraventricular bilateral (dominante izquierdo) a quien se le realizó una resección microquirúrgica subtotal del tumor y se colocó un catéter ventricular externo de seguridad y, como terapia coadyuvante, se le administró quimioterapia y radioterapia concurrente. En el seguimiento a los 6 meses luego de la intervención, la paciente presenta una evolución clínica y neurológica favorable.


Central Neurocytoma is a rare benign tumor of the Central Nervous System that mainly affects young adults. Clinically, it manifests with headache, nausea, vomiting, and visual disturbances due to intracranial hypertension. To establish the diagnosis, the use of imaging, histopathology, and immunohistochemistry is necessary. The treatment of choice is total surgical resection, accompanied in selected cases of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The prognosis that generally is good, depends on the percentage of surgical resection and the characteristics of the tumor. The present work aims to report the case of a low incidence neuroepithelial tumor, such as atypical Central Neurocytoma, and to describe clearly and concisely the main characteristics of the tumor, as well as the diagnostic and therapeutic methods that currently are considered of choice according to international guidelines. We present the case of a 22-year-old patient with an atypical intraventricular Central Neurocytoma who underwent a subtotal microsurgical resection of the tumor and a safety external ventricular catheter placement and received concurrent chemotherapy and radiotherapy as adjunctive therapy. In the follow up 6 months after the intervention, the patient presented a favorable clinical and neurological evolution.
