  • Title: Primary intradural pontocerebellar chordoma metastasizing in the subarachnoid spinal canal.
    Author: Korinth M, Schönrock L, Mayfrank L, Gilsbach JM.
    Journal: Zentralbl Neurochir; 1999; 60(3):146-50. PubMed ID: 10726338.
    Abstract:
    Chordomas that are entirely extraosseous and intradural are rare. Additionally subarachnoid spinal implantation from such a cranial, intradural chordoma has never been reported before. The authors present a case of a widespread primary intradural chordoma in the basal cisterns of a 48-year-old woman which shows seeding of neoplastic cells to the spinal leptomeninges. It is concluded that also in cases of intradural and intracranial chordomas a tumor staging should include the search for spinal subarachnoid metastases.
