The Central Neurocytoma (CN) is a rare tumour of brain which is commonly seen in young adults. Two cases, A 24-year-old-male and a 37-year-old-female with CN of the lateral ventricles are reported here. Both patients presented with complaints of headache and seizures with no focal neurological deficits. Gross total excision of tumour was carried out via right frontoparietal craniotomy. Afterwards, they received adjuvant radiotherapy by Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT), 56Gy in 28 fractions for residual lesion. There was marked improvement in terms of tumour response and improvement of patient’s performance status and quality of life.
