A brief review of skull base chordomas Authors Syeda Kubra Kishwar Jafri Memon Medical Institute Hospital, Karachi Ahsan Ali Khan Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi, Pakistan Duarte Nuno Crispim Candido Hospital Santa Casa de Maceió, Brazil Muhammad Shahzad Shamim Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi, Pakistan DOI: https://doi.org/10.47391/JPMA.23-103 Abstract Skull base chrodomas are slow growing neoplasms usually located along the midline. They display a locally invasive nature with possibilities of extracranial metastasis. Presentation is usually late and depends upon the location and extent of the tumour. Management aims at gross total resection via open microsurgical or endoscopic approach followed by adjuvant radiotherapy. Prognosis may be good for the classical and chondroid subtypes but remains poor for de-differentiated type. Keywords: Chordoma, skull base, surgical management, radiotherapy.
