    This study details a rare intraventricular neuronal tumor, initially resembling oligodendroglioma but confirmed via ultrastructural analysis. Diagnosis of central neurocytoma or neuroblastoma requires demonstrating neuronal differentiation, with surgical removal being the primary treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuro-oncology
    • Neuropathology
    • Neurosurgery

    Background:

    • Intraventricular neuronal tumors are rare central nervous system neoplasms.
    • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment and prognosis.

    Observation:

    • A 24-year-old female presented with headache and nausea due to a left lateral ventricle mass.
    • Light microscopy suggested oligodendroglioma, but ultrastructural examination revealed neuronal differentiation and synapses.

    Findings:

    • A literature review identified 21 adult cases of intraventricular neuronal tumors (central neurocytoma or differentiated neuroblastoma).
    • Tumors were predominantly located near the foramen of Monro, presenting with headache and nausea.
    • Surgical resection was the most effective treatment; radiation therapy's efficacy remains uncertain.

    Implications:

    • Demonstration of neuronal differentiation is key for diagnosing these tumors.
    • Distinguishing between mature (neurocytoma) and immature (neuroblastoma) neuronal differentiation remains controversial.
    • Further research is needed to clarify diagnostic criteria and optimal therapeutic strategies.
