    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Oncology
    • Neurosurgery

    Background:

    • Chordomas are rare bone tumors arising from notochordal remnants.
    • Understanding their clinical and radiological presentation is crucial for diagnosis and management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To document the clinical and radiological features of 44 cranial chordomas.
    • To highlight diagnostic indicators and the role of imaging in evaluating tumor extent.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of clinical and radiological data from 44 cranial chordoma patients.
    • Analysis of imaging findings from conventional radiography, gamma encephalography (99Tcm), and computed transmission tomography (CT).

    Main Results:

    • Classical features (mid-line, calcified, clival destruction) seen in ~50% of cases.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Unilateral bone erosion (~33%), clival tip/odontoid erosion, and sclerotic bone reaction are significant findings.
  • CT effectively demonstrated intracranial extension and skull base involvement.
  • Pathological circulation was observed in 6 cases, challenging previous assumptions.

    • Conclusions:

    • Cranial chordomas exhibit diverse radiological features, including specific patterns of bone erosion and reaction.
    • Advanced imaging, particularly CT, is invaluable for assessing tumor extent and intracranial involvement.
    • The findings underscore the importance of considering chordoma in the differential diagnosis of skull base tumors.
