Intraventricular neurocytoma: case report.

Intraventricular neurocytoma is a rare, usually benign tumour of neuronal differentiation, recently recognized as a clinico-pathological entity in comparison to the other intraventricular tumours. It is generally found in the lateral or third ventricles in close relationship with the septum pellucidum, and commonly affects young adults. The authors present a case of an intraventricular neurocytoma in a 25-year-old male and discuss the importance of diagnostic criteria, pathological findings and management of these tumours.
