title: [Radiological aspects of cervical chordomas (author's transl)].
abstract: The radiological findings in two patients with histologically verified cervical chordomas are described and compared with 40 others described in the literature. There is no typical radiographic picture. Our cases showed benign-looking, extensive bone erosions of vertebral bodies and neural arches. In addition, there was destruction of the related discs and a soft tissue mass at the level of the bony lesions.
