Central neurocytomas are usually T1 isointense, with variable intensity on T2 and a heterogeneous enhancement pattern and globular calcifications imparting the classic “soap-bubble” appearing lateral ventricular lesion. CNs are typically benign tumors amenable to surgical resection with low rates of local recurrence. The five-year survival for CN after GTR has been as high as 99% in some studies with the five-year survival for CN only achieving STR being 86%.
