neurocytoma/nausea

Central neurocytoma (CN) is a rare intraventricular brain tumor that affects young adults. Just over 100 cases of CN have been reported since it was first described in 1982. It accounts for less than 1% of all central nervous system neoplasms. It is characterized by cystic spaces and intratumoral

Central neurocytomas are uncommon tumors of the CNS, representing approximately 0.1-0.5% of all primary CNS tumors. Patients most often present with symptoms of increased intracranial pressure (headache, nausea/vomiting, diplopia) due to obstructive hydrocephalus. Rarely, central neurocytomas may

Central neurocytomas (CN) are rare pediatric CNS tumors most often with a benign clinical course. Occasionally, these tumors occur outside the ventricles and are called extraventricular neurocytomas (EVN). We present a retrospective institutional analysis of children with neurocytoma with prolonged

A 24-year-old female was hospitalized for progressive headache and nausea. Computed tomography showed a mass lesion in the left lateral ventricle near the foramen of Monro. On light microscopy, this tumor morphologically resembled an oligodendroglioma. However, ultrastructural examination disclosed

4 cases of central neurocytoma are reported. Sex distribution was symmetrical, average age at presentation was 29.7 years, and duration of symptoms varied from 1 day to 5 years. Headache and nausea were the most frequent symptoms; 1 patient was asymptomatic, 3 tumors were located in the left lateral

Background: Extraventricular neurocytoma (EVN) is a rare neurocytoma occurring in the brain parenchyma outside the ventricular system that shares similar biological behaviors and histopathologic characteristics with central neurocytoma.

Extraventricular neurocytomas (EVNs) are rare neuronal tumors included in the definition of neoplasms in the 2007 World Health Organization classification of tumors of the central nervous system. Although a small case series of EVNs in adults has been previously reported, EVNs in pediatric

OBJECTIVE Dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumors (DNTs) are clinicopathologically unique tumors. They are usually located within the supratentorial cortex, most often in the temporal lobe. These lesions are frequently associated with intractable complex partial seizures in children and young

An 11 year old girl presented with an 8 month history of left temporal headaches with new onset of nausea and vomiting with increased severity of headaches. An MRI scan showed a frontal lobe mass. The tumor was resected and histologic studies demonstrated a central neurocytoma. The clinical,

We report a case of a patient with large intraventricular tumor treated with craniotomy assisted by a neuroendoscope. A 25-year-old man, who had headache and nausea for several months, was transferred to our hospital with the diagnosis of an intraventricular tumor. Because of intracranial
