Résumé
Neurocytomas represent 0,25 to 0,5 of brain tumours. These tumours have neuronal differentiation. It's a young adult disease. The main treatment is neurosurgery. The place of other therapies is still unclear, noticeably with regards to radiotherapy. This review aim is to determine the place and the modalities of radiotherapy in the management of neurocytomas. A literature search using PubMed allowed to select the most relevant studies. Finally, 22 studies were selected according to pre-established criteria to answer the problem. All studies were retrospective studies except one. The analysis conclusion defined radiotherapy as a treatment of choice in selected patients, when surgical resection was incomplete or when tumour was atypical.
