Neurocytoma presenting with intraparenchymal cerebral hemorrhage

Pediatr Neurosurg. 1998 Aug;29(2):92-5. doi: 10.1159/000028696.

Abstract

Neurocytomas are uncommon intracranial neoplasms that have only recently been characterized pathologically. Neurocytomas are histologically benign neoplasms that are often quite large when diagnosed, and previous reports have commonly described presentation with mass effect or cerebrospinal fluid outflow obstruction. We describe the first case of neurocytoma presenting with intraparenchymal cerebral hemorrhage.
