Spontaneous Shrinking and Growing Skull Base Chordoma
This article discusses the uncommon presentation and behavior of a petroclival chordoma, showing fluctuating cycles of off-midline growth and spontaneous regression. While intratumoral hemorrhage is hypothesized to explain this tumor behavior, the exact etiology needs further investigation. The case presented here emphasizes the importance of considering chordoma in the differential diagnosis despite an atypical disease course.
