Methods: We are presenting the case of a 56 years old woman presenting with a first symptomatic multifocal ischemic stroke in the right internal carotid artery (ICA) territory on 2018 and a finding of asymptomatic past vascular injury in the same vascular territory on neuroimaging studies.

Hyperostosis may complicate the surgical management.

Article Synopsis
- - Chordoma is a slow-growing, benign tumor that rarely occurs in the spine, but can cause significant neurological issues due to its mass effect on the spinal cord or nerves when symptomatic.
- - A case involving a 39-year-old male highlighted a chordoma in the sacral region, which caused pain and dysfunction, leading to surgical removal and stabilization, despite a complication during the procedure.
- - Post-surgery, the patient showed good outcomes with minimal pain and no issues with bowel or bladder function, emphasizing the potential for effective management and early mobilization following lumbopelvic stabilization.
