RESUMO
Central neurocytoma (CN) is slow-growing rare intraventricular tumor that represents 0.25-0.5% of all intracranial tumors in adults. Typically, it is seen in young adults, yet with surgical resection, it has excellent prognosis. Due to CN rarity and its feature similarities with other common tumors, misdiagnosis can be an issue. With no pathognomonic clinical features of CN, a proper diagnosis can be achieved by radiological imaging, magnetic resonance spectroscopy, histopathology assessment, and immunohistochemistry. Therefore, this is a case report of a 17-year-old male who presented with right lateral ventricular CN with intraventricular hemorrhage. Subtotal tumor resection was carried out via right transcortical approach. Subtle improvement for the patient condition was noted.
