Abstract
Central neurocytoma is a rare tumor of the central nervous system occurring in young adults, typically located in the lateral ventricles and around the foramen of Monro. The neoplasm is composed of uniform round cells with neuronal differentiation and is associated with a varied biologic behavior. We report 2 cases of central neurocytomas presenting to the ophthalmologist as chronic progressive blurring of vision. The available literature on the presentation, pathology, and treatment of central neurocytomas is also reviewed.
