Most tumors were resected through transcortical (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n = 76, 61%), or transcallosal (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n = 40, 32%) approaches. In 5 (4%) patients with predominantly posterior location of the tumor, non-dominant superior parietal lobule approach was utilized. Both approaches (transcortical + transcallosal) were used in 4 (3%) of cases. Seven consecutive patients with large CN underwent prophylactic intraventricular stenting to prevent hydrocephalus.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n Gross total resection was achieved in 45 patients (36%), subtotal resection (STR) in 40 (32%) cases. After surgery, 63 (50%) patients had neurocognitive problems, including disorientation, attention deficit, global amnesia, short-term memory deficits, and perceptual motor and social cognition problems. A total of 26 patients (21%) had postoperative hemorrhage in the resection bed. Obstructive hydrocephalus was noted in 25 (20%) patients. The entrapment of the occipital and\/or temporal horns was observed in seven cases. None of the seven patients with prophylactic intraventricular stents required shunting.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n Although high rates of gross total or STR can be expected, the mortality and morbidity remain significant even in the modern neurosurgical era. Prophylactic intraventricular stenting in patients with large posteriorly located tumors with hydrocephalus may prevent ventricular entrapment and shunting. The main risk factors for recurrence are presence of residual disease and Ki-67 index over 5%. Recurrent symptomatic tumors should be treated surgically, whereas asymptomatic progression can be managed with stereotactic radiosurgery. Both treatment modalities are associated with low risk of complications and high tumor control rates.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.25259\/sni_764_2020","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,6]],"date-time":"2021-07-06T09:30:11Z","timestamp":1625563811000},"page":"336","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.25259\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["The last decade\u2019s experience of management of central neurocytomas: Treatment strategies and new options"],"prefix":"10.25259","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Alexander","family":"Konovalov","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, N.
