Abstract
|
|
|
|
Clival chordoma is a rare malignant tumor which arises from the remnants of notochord. Although it is a slow-growing tumor that rarely metastasize to other organs, it is regarded as clinically malignant because of local invasiveness and high recurrence rate. Furthermore, because its location is critical and surgical resection is difficult, it has poor prognosis. Neurosurgeons have traditionally taken the lead in managing tumor, however, with the development of endoscopic techniques and wide spread of usage in skull base surgery, the role of ENT surgeon has become bigger recently. We report a recent case of recurrent clival chordoma successfully removed by endoscopic extended transclival approach.
