Abstract:
CSF rhinorrhea is a rare presenting symptom of a clival chordoma as these tumors do not tend to show dural invasion as a histological feature. Here we discuss the case of a 61 years old female with spontaneous rhinorrhea secondary to a clival chordoma, and the value of some specific MRI sequences in accurate identification of a tumor with such atypical presentation, enabling the surgeon to plan accordingly.
