AB - Central neurocytomas are rare intraventricular tumors of neuronal origin that most commonly affect young adults. These tumors have a benign course and excellent prognosis after surgery. We present the first documented case of an 18-year-old healthy Filipino male presenting with new-onset generalized seizures and a heterogeneously enhancing left lateral ventricle tumor on imaging. The tumor was completely excised through endoscopic surgery, after which the patient made a complete recovery. Proper selection of cases, coupled with neurosurgeon expertise, solidifies endoscopic surgery as a safe and reasonable approach to achieve gross total resection of an intraventricular tumor.
