Abstract

Chordomas are very rare primitive notochord-related tumors localized most frequently in sacrococcygeal and cranial regions. Intracranial lesions correspond to 3-5% of the primary tumors. Clinical management is very difficult; surgical ressection is usually incomplete, and can be associated with rapid tumor growth and multiple neurological involvement. In this study, the authors report on two cases of intracranial chordomas with diverse presentation and evolution, and discuss the diagnosis and the management of these patients.
