Objective This study was aimed to achieve gross-total removal of a chordoma of the
craniocervical junction via an endonasal approach (Fig. 1). Design The present study is a …

A 24-year-old gentleman with history of chronic cervicogenic and occipital headaches who
presented with right tongue deviation and atrophy. MRI showed a mass at the craniocervical …

Objective While the endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) has gained widespread
acceptance for the resection of clivus chordomas, conventional transcranial approaches still …

Chordomas are rare tumors that occur at an incidence rate of 0.8 per 100,000. Thirty-five
percent of chordomas occur in the spheno-occipital region. We present a case of a clival …

Background Chordoma is a rare slow-growing malignant bone tumor that arises from
embryonic notochordal remnants in the axial skeleton. Clival chordomas have a high …

Surgery for chordoma in the craniocervical junction is challenging because tumor
occasionally extends below the inferior limit of endoscopic endonasal surgery (EES), which …

Surgery is the main treatment for chordomas. The elected approach represents a key
component in the potential success of the surgery that would define not only the outcome for …

Background: The far lateral transcondylar approach usually includes a lateral suboccipital
craniectomy, a C1 hemilaminectomy, partial resection of the occipital condyle, and partial …

Chordomas in the clival-cervical region present challenges to the neurosurgical team due to
their encroaching nature, proximity to critical neurovascular structures and often large size …

OBJECTIVE Iatrogenic tumor seeding after open surgery for chordoma has been well
described in the literature. The incidence and particularities related to endoscopic …
