Neuron Structure01:30

Neuron Structure

Neurons are the main type of cell in the nervous system that generate and transmit electrochemical signals. They primarily communicate with each other using neurotransmitters at specific junctions called synapses. Neurons come in many shapes that often relate to their function, but most share three main structures: an axon and dendrites that extend out from a cell body.

Nervous Tissue: Glial Cells

Glia, or neuroglia, are vital support cells that assist neurons in their functions. The term "glia" originates from the Greek word for "glue," reflecting their role in holding the nervous system together. These cells can be categorized into six types: four in the central nervous system (CNS) and two in the peripheral nervous system (PNS).
The CNS glial cell includes the astrocytes, the oligodendrocytes, the microglia, and the ependymal cells.
Astrocytes are star-shaped glial cells that interact...

Cerebrospinal Fluid01:21

Cerebrospinal Fluid

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a colorless liquid that flows around the brain and the spinal cord, playing a vital role in the protection, support, and overall function of the central nervous system (CNS). CSF production, circulation, and absorption are tightly regulated processes essential for the brain and spinal cord to function properly.
CSF Production
CSF is produced mainly in the choroid plexus, a network of capillaries and ependymal cells located within the ventricular system of the brain.
Cushing Syndrome II: Pathophysiology01:19

Cushing Syndrome II: Pathophysiology

Cortisol production is normally governed by the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis, which maintains hormonal balance through tightly regulated feedback mechanisms. Disruption of this regulatory system is central to the development of Cushing syndrome, whether the excess cortisol originates from external medications or internal pathology. Persistent cortisol elevation alters metabolism, immune function, and endocrine signaling, producing the characteristic clinical features of the...

Area of Science:

  • Neuro-oncology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Neuroradiology

Background:

  • Central neurocytomas (CN) are rare intraventricular tumors.
  • They typically affect young adults and present with symptoms of raised intracranial pressure.
  • Limited data exists on their clinical, pathological, and radiological characteristics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report on ten patients with central neurocytomas.
  • To describe their variable clinical, pathological, and radiological features.
  • To discuss the management and outcomes of these rare tumors.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of surgical and histopathological data from ten CN patients.
  • Analysis of clinical presentations, MRI findings, and treatment strategies.
  • Literature review for differential diagnosis and therapeutic aspects.

Main Results:

  • Nine tumors were intraventricular (lateral ventricles), one in the sellar region.
  • MRI showed heterogeneous hypo/iso-intensity on T1 and hyperintensity on T2, with variable contrast enhancement.
  • All patients underwent surgical resection (total or subtotal); six received postoperative radiotherapy. No recurrences were observed in follow-up.

Conclusions:

  • Central neurocytomas, despite rarity, can exhibit diverse features.
  • Surgical resection followed by radiotherapy when indicated appears effective in managing CN.
  • Further research is needed to fully elucidate optimal therapeutic strategies for CN.
