This study reports a rare pediatric clival chordoma case. Advanced surgical techniques achieved significant tumor decompression and symptom improvement with minimal complications.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric neurosurgery
  • Skull base surgery
  • Chordoma research

Background:

  • Clival chordomas are exceptionally rare in children.
  • A 3-year-old boy presented with a large posterior pharyngeal, clival, and posterior fossa tumor after head trauma.

Observation:

  • The child exhibited ataxia and dysphagia.
  • CT imaging revealed significant extrinsic brain stem compression.

Findings:

  • A multi-stage resection was performed using minimally invasive endoscopic endonasal and open transfacetal, transcondylar approaches.
  • Extensive tumor decompression was achieved with no permanent complications, and dysphagia improved significantly.

Implications:

  • This case highlights a novel surgical paradigm for pediatric clival lesions.
