Abstract
Two cases of central neurocytoma are presented. This is a rare CNS tumour affecting, predominantly, young individuals. There is enough evidence in the literature now to distinguish this entity clinically, radiologically and histologically. Much less is known about the management of patients with this tumour, because most of the reports are in pathological literature. Using our two cases and reviewing the available literature, we are endeavouring to shed light on the clinical aspects and management of central neurocytoma. In particular, we attempted to evaluate the role of surgical excision and radiation therapy in the management of this tumour.
