Abstract
Central neurocytomas are characterized by their intraventricular locations, usually arising from the lateral ventricles and their benign clinical course. Variations in location, histology and clinical behaviour have been reported in recent years. The authors present two cases of central neurocytomas arising in the third and fourth ventricles with aqueductal involvement. The atypical features in their location and behaviour are discussed. The cases represent the extended spectrum of central neurocytomas.
