Apoplexy in an intradural clival chordoma causing intraventricular bleed

BACKGROUND: A few cases depicting apoplexy in a chordoma have been reported. Rarely, this intratumoral bleed may spillover into intracerebral or intraventricular regions. CASE DESCRIPTION: The authors report an intradural variety of clival chordoma presenting with apoplexy and spillover of blood int...

description BACKGROUND: A few cases depicting apoplexy in a chordoma have been reported. Rarely, this intratumoral bleed may spillover into intracerebral or intraventricular regions. CASE DESCRIPTION: The authors report an intradural variety of clival chordoma presenting with apoplexy and spillover of blood into lateral ventricle. Clinical presentation, radiological scans, and relevant literature is also described. CONCLUSIONS: In a stable case of clival chordoma, intratumoral bleed or apoplexy may cause rapid neurological worsening and warranting urgent surgical intervention.
