Central neurocytoma are rare primary brain tumors of the young and middle-aged adult,
typically located in the lateral ventricles. Diagnosis has historically been difficult
due to histomorphologic similarities to oligodendroglioma and ependymal tumors and
remains a challenge even today. We present two cases of intraventricular central neurocytoma
in which careful consideration of the clinical and radiological findings led to reevaluation
of the preliminary histological interpretation, highlighting the importance of a meticulous
differential diagnosis.
