Presentation
We present a comprehensive review of these rare tumors, including their epidemiology, clinical presentation, radiological presentation, histopathological findings, and options for intervention including surgery, radiation therapy, stereotactic radiosurgery [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Intravenous Administration
After intravenous administration of gadolinium (Gd-DTPA) all tumours showed a heterogeneous enhancement. CT provided additional information by distinguishing intratumoural calcifications in all three evaluated cases. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Projectile Vomiting
The second case concerned a 26 years old righthanded woman, presenting with a 4 Glasgow Coma Scale Score preceded by an acute onset of headache with projectile vomiting. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
She had the symptoms of headache, projectile vomiting and ataxia with gait imbalance. She was managed by oral steroid (dexamethasone) and acetazolamide based medical decompression therapy. [indianjcancer.com]
Workup
However, definitive confirmation warrants an immunohistochemical workup, and correlation with the clinical-radiological and histomorphological profile of the case. 1. Giangaspero F, Cenaccchi G, Losi L, Cerasoli S, Bisceglia M, Burger PC. [jcytol.org]
Treatment
Therefore, total resection is the best treatment. Two surgical approaches are possible as treatment. Calcifications or adhesions affect the gross total resection of the tumour. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The mainstay of treatment is surgical excision. Two adjuvant therapeutic strategies are Stereotactic surgery (SRS) and fractionated convention radiotherapy (FCRT). Both are highly effective means of treatment. [en.wikipedia.org]
Prognosis
Typically, it has a favorable prognosis after adequate surgical intervention, but in some cases the clinical course is more aggressive. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Etiology
(Etiology) The exact cause of Central Neurocytoma is not known It is theorized that there may be a genetic basis, since Asians are more prone to tumor development (Source: Central Neurocytoma; Genetic and Rare Diseases Information Center (GARD ) of National [dovemed.com]
The frequency of epidermoid tumors as a common juxtapositional collision partner, the relative rarity of central neurocytomas and the possible mechanism of chemical irritation to explain its etiology support this theory rather than co-incidental casual [file.scirp.org]
Epidemiology
We present a comprehensive review of these rare tumors, including their epidemiology, clinical presentation, radiological presentation, histopathological findings, and options for intervention including surgery, radiation therapy, stereotactic radiosurgery [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In this article, the authors from various neurosciences sub-specialties, with a specific interest and experience in managing CN, review the epidemiology, clinical features, pathological findings, radiological characteristics and surgical treatment, with [doi.org]
Pathophysiology
Pathophysiology WHO nomenclature: Central neurocytomas are grade II tumors. They are classified as “neuronal or mixed neuronal-glial” tumors in the WHO classification of brain tumors. [ispn.guide]
Prevention
Between 1985 and 1992, six patients were treated with RT for residual tumors or for prevention of recurrence after surgery. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Central Neurocytoma may not be preventable, as the exact cause of tumor formation is still unknown. [dovemed.com]
People who took low-dose aspirin for heart disease prevention had a 35% lower risk of pancreatic cancer. Non-aspirin NSAIDs and acetaminophen did not appear to provide a pancreatic cancer benefit. [news.cancerconnect.com]
