    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Pediatric Oncology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Chondromas are rare benign tumors of cartilage.
    • Skull base tumors in infants are uncommon and challenging to manage.
    • Early and accurate diagnosis is critical for successful treatment outcomes.

    Observation:

    • A 15-month-old male infant presented with a massive, solitary intracranial chondroma.
    • The tumor involved the skull base, posing significant surgical risks.
    • Diagnosis was confirmed via advanced imaging techniques.

    Findings:

    • Total surgical excision of the intracranial chondroma was achieved successfully.
    • Computerized tomography (CT) played a pivotal role in delineating tumor extent.
    • CT imaging facilitated precise surgical planning, optimizing the approach.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the feasibility of complete resection for large skull base chondromas in infants.
    • Advanced imaging, particularly CT, is indispensable for managing complex pediatric intracranial tumors.
    • Successful surgical management can lead to favorable long-term outcomes for affected children.
