Unusual presentation of petro-clival chondrosarcoma: short report

Skull base chondrosarcoma is a rare neoplasm. Our patient presented with acute onset of diplopia along with symptoms of lower cranial nerve palsies in 1997. She showed complete resolution of symptoms following a short course of antibiotics and remained quiescent for three years. However, remission of symptoms in chondrosarcoma is unusual. An unusual case of a patient with petroclival low grade chondrosarcoma, who presented with relapse of symptoms after three years and was treated with surgery and radiotherapy, is presented.
