Abstract

A 24-year-old gentleman with history of chronic cervicogenic and occipital headaches who presented with right tongue deviation and atrophy. MRI showed a mass at the craniocervical junction, consistent with a chordoma. A transpterygoid transeustachian far medial approach was undertaken for resection of tumor. The patient was kept in a Halo overnight and underwent an occipitocervical fixation the following day. MRI showed gross total resection. He did well without new deficits or complaints and preoperative headaches resolved.
