Acute peritumoral brainstem hemorrhage of a clival chondrosarcoma successfully treated via endoscopic endonasal surgery: illustrative case
This report describes a case of sudden neurological deterioration due to hemorrhage in a patient with chondrosarcoma of the skull base. An emergency endoscopic endonasal approach for mass reduction and hematoma removal was effective in the acute setting. This approach revealed the suspected etiology of peritumoral hemorrhage, not intratumoral hemorrhage. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE2460.
