Abstract EN
Chordoid glioma is a rare and relatively recently defined tumour entity.
Worldwide there have only been around 90 cases described until now.
A chordoid glioma comprises a low-grade suprasellar neuroepithelial neoplasm originating in the anterior part of the third ventricle, with consistent radiological features on MRI.
This lesion should be considered as a differential of third ventricle tumours.
The patient described in this paper is quite unique in the sense that despite only partial tumour resection was obtained, the residual tumour was not progressive during several years of follow-up.
Preoperative recognition of this disease entity is crucial to modify the treatment approach and improve patient outcome.
