J Neuroophthalmol. 2014 Mar;34(1):47-9. doi: 10.1097/WNO.0b013e3182a595b7.

Abstract

Chordoid glioma is a rare intracranial tumor typically arising in the third ventricle, particularly along the anterior aspect of the hypothalamic wall. We describe the clinical, neuroimaging, and pathologic factors of this neoplasm in a patient presenting with a chiasmal syndrome.
