Objective: we’ll analyze our cases of Central Neurocitoma, regarding their common factors, surgical treatment and management of recurrences. Method: 7 cases of Central Neurocytoma, were diagnosticated and received treatment in Hospital Cordoba & Clinica Reina Fabiola between 2000 - 2006, with a follow up of, at last, 12 months. Results: we find male predominance, average age 26 years. They, have frequently, intracranial hypertension because of hydrocephaly. Atypical tumor and subtotal resection had early recurrence. Conclusions: When we have intraventricular tumors in male young people, we should think about these lesions. The treatment would be aggressive in the first resection and always perform Mib 1 index because the recurrence depends on previous factors. Radiant therapy can be used in atypical cases and Mib 1> 3%.

Keywords : Central neurocytoma; Intraventricular tumors; Mib 1; Transcortical transventricular aproach.
