Delayed intraventricular metastasis of clival chordoma
نویسندگان
چکیده
Intracranial chordomas are typically clival and extradural in location, yet these tumors can obviously invade the dura. However, primary intradural chordomas without local extension is a rare event with approximately 47 cases reported in literature. Furthermore, all intradural chordoma reports appear to be extraventricular in location.[1,2] In addition, through advances in technology and optics, neuroendoscopy has come to the forefront as a mainstream operative technique. Some tumors are more conducive to endoscopic biopsy or resection than others due to hemorrhagic or consistency.

متن کاملInfrasellar craniopharyngioma mimicking a clival chordoma: a case report.
An unusual case of entirely infrasellar craniopharyngioma mimicking a clival chordoma is described. Only 22 cases of craniopharyngioma with nasopharyngeal extension have been reported in the literature. Of the reported cases, most were primarily intracranial with secondary downward extension; only two were thought to originate from an infrasellar location. The present case is another example of...
متن کاملIntradural Clival Chordoma: A Case Report
Clival chordoma is a rare intracranial neoplasm located in the clivus with bony extension and destruction. It is difficult to resect completely and generally has a poor prognosis. However, intradural clival chordomas have been reported with good surgical outcomes. We present a rare case of intradural chordoma and a review of the literature.
متن کاملClival Ectopic Pituitary Adenoma Mimicking a Chordoma: Case Report and Review of the Literature
Background. Purely ectopic pituitary adenomas are exceedingly rare. Here we report on a patient that presented with an incidental clival mass thought to be a chordoma. Endonasal resection, tumor pathology, and endocrinology workup revealed a prolactinoma. Case Presentation. A 41-year-old male presented with an incidental clival lesion presumed to be a chordoma. On MRI it involved the entire cli...
