Intracranial intradural chordomas are rare entities constituting 1 to 3% of primary bone tumors. The mainstay of treatment remains aggressive resection of the lesion followed by adjuvant radiation therapy. We hereby report a case of a 70-year-old gentleman with intracranial, intradural chordoma arising from the left cerebellopontine angle. We hope to add to the existing minimal literature on this subject by highlighting this case, the first reported one from Asia.

Introduction: Vestibular schwannomas are benign tumors that account for 8% of all intracranial tumors. Due to their location in the cerebellopontine angle and internal auditory canal, access to these lesions requires disruption of the temporal bone. The pneumatization of this bone varies between individuals, and literature reports suggest that it may influence the frequency of cerebrospinal fluid leaks.

The patient is a 51-year-old woman with an epidermoid cyst extending bilaterally along the clivus and cerebellopontine angles from the level of the cisterna magna to the prepeduncular cistern. Her presenting symptoms included hearing loss, tinnitus, and imbalance for 4 months. Near-complete resection of the epidermoid cyst was achieved via a left far-lateral approach.
