Introduction: Central neurocytomas are rare primary
central nervous system tumors. The main treatment
method is gross total surgical resection that can only
be performed in half of the patients. As the possibility
of relapse is higher, post-resection treatment of
the remaining tumor is also important. Therefore,
additional treatment is needed.
Case Report: We present a 29-year-old patient with
atypical central neurocytomas whose residual tumors
were well controlled by CyberKnife Robotic Surgery or
Radiosurgery (CKRS).
Conclusion: In central neurocytomas, known to be
excessively radiosensitive, stereotactic radiosurgery
is a more preferred option due to its lower toxicity as
an alternative treatment modality. CyberKnife robotic
surgery, the latest radiosurgical method, has never been
used in cases of central neurocytoma. The patient was
well treated and the prognosis seems favorable so far.
