Abstract: Chordomas account for a relatively small proportion of intracranial and primary bone tumors. However, they may cause local bone destruction with a typically aggressive disease course. Chordomas arise from embryonic remnants of the primitive notochord. Common localizations for chordoma include the spheno occipital region, sacrococcygeal region, and vertebral bodies. While distant metastasis is typically rare, chordomas may cause mass effect on the brainstem, cranial nerves and the spinal cord.
