Abstract:
The authers report a case of chondroid chordoma in the cavernous sinus. The chondroid chordoma is an uncommon variant of typical chordoma(0.2% of intracranial tumors) and reported usual locations of the chondroid chordoma are clival, parasellar, intrasellar, temporal region, other skull base and extracranial areas. Reported cases of this tumor arising in the cavernous sinus is very rare. We report a case of cavernous sinus chondroid chordoma presenting with clinical symptoms by hemorrhage.
