Abstract
The central neurocytoma is a recently recognized benign intraventricul ar tumour of young adults. The authors report a unique case of a panve ntricular neurocytoma with extension to the interpeduncular and prepon tique cisterns which developed in a 35-year-old woman with a 7-year hi story of headaches and amenorrhea. They review the different pathologi cal and topographical patterns of pre viously published neurocytomas a nd discuss the histogenesis of this rare tumour.
