Teaching NeuroImages: Chordoma

A 30-year-old man presented with recurrent headaches. CT head revealed a clival chordoma (figure 1A). Chordomas originate from the embryonic remnants of the notochord and account for 2%-4% of all malignant bone tumors. They have a predilection for the axial skeleton, with 35% affecting the spheno-oc...

Zusammenfassung:	A 30-year-old man presented with recurrent headaches. CT head revealed a clival chordoma (figure 1A). Chordomas originate from the embryonic remnants of the notochord and account for 2%-4% of all malignant bone tumors. They have a predilection for the axial skeleton, with 35% affecting the spheno-occipital region. The incidence peaks at ages 20-40 years.
