Targeted Chopstick Mononostril Approach for a Lower Clivus Chordoma
Authors
The authors report the case of a 47-year-old male, investigating nasopharyngitis and odynophagia refractory to usual treatment. Imaging investigation showed a large lesion at the craniocervical junction. The tumor was resected by a targeted endoscopic mononostril approach, with minimal morbidity to normal nasal structures. Histological diagnosis showed a classic chordoma. The patient was referred for adjuvant proton-beam therapy with a favorable outcome. Details of the surgical technique, indications, alternative approaches, and risks are described.
