  • Title: [Recurrential paralysis as the first manifestation of chordoma of the petrous apex].
    Author: Giménez Vaíllo F, Cano Cuenca B, Lázaro R, Pérez Climent F, García Roig I, Aldasoro J.
    Journal: Acta Otorrinolaringol Esp; 1999 Apr; 50(3):239-42. PubMed ID: 10362872.
    Abstract:
    We report the case of a 67-year-old woman with paralysis of the right recurrent nerve. Imaging studies showed a mass in the right petrous apex and jugular foramen. Surgery was performed using a lateral approach to the skull base. The tumor excised from the petrous apex was a chondroid chordoma. Chordomas are rare dysontogenic neoplasms that arise from notochord remnants, generally on the midline. It should be included in the differential diagnosis of tumors of the skull base.
