Intradural chordoma of the tentorium cerebelli. Case report

J Neurosurg. 1991 Mar;74(3):508-11. doi: 10.3171/jns.1991.74.3.0508.

Abstract

A rare case of intradural chordoma is described. The literature contains seven examples of intradural extraosseous chordoma, all reported in a ventral location. This is the first reported case of a primary intradural chordoma distant from the clivus and involving both the supra- and infratentorial compartments.
