| Abstract |
|
Chordoma is a rare tumor derived from notochord remnants, but can occur at any level of the craniovertebral axis, pri-marily in the sacrum, clivus, and cervical regions. Therefore, chordoma should be considered as a rare cause in the dif-ferential diagnosis of mass lesions around the cervicomedullary junction. A 62-year-old man suffered from a suboccipi-tal, nuchal pain and headache for 15 years and nasal obstruction, recently. In a neurological examination, dysarthria, uvula and tongue deviation, depressed soft palate, decreased gag reflex, and atrophic SCM were noted. The MRI find-ings included an isosignal, round, well- marginated, and nearly homogeneous tumor compressing the lower brainstem. A biopsy was done by the transoral approach with a permanent diagnosis of chordoma arising from the clivus. We report a rare case of chordoma arising from the inferior margin of the clivus in a patient with multiple lower cranial nerve palsies.
