Abstract： Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of central neurocytomas,and discuss the therapeutic strategies.Methods 94 cases of central neurocytomas were studied retrospectively.All patients underwent operation with removal of the tumor through either transcallosal or transcortical approach.Total resection was achieved in 66 patients,subtotal resection in 26 patients and partial resection in 2 patients.The clinical,radiological,histologic and immunohistochemical features of these patients were reviewed and analyzed.Methods Amongthe 94 cases of central neurocytomas,two died after surgery.Among the 84 followed- up cases,56 cases underwent postoperative radiotherapy,4 cases had recurrence.Most patients have favorable prognosis.Conclusion Central neurocytomas occur mostly in the lateral ventricle near the Monro's foramen.Total resection is the best treatment.Postoperative radiotherapy for partially removed tumors may reduce the possibility of recurrence.
