[Unilateral exophthalmos and temporary ipsilateral oculomotor paresis and the only symptoms of an extensive chordoma of the base of the skull (author's transl)].
A case of histologically proved chordoma of the region of the base of the skull in an 18-year-old girl is described. In spite of great extension of the tumor from the clivus into the nasopharynx only a unilateral protrusio bulbi was apparent. The patient was treated with high-dose radiotherapy. Continual half-yearly follow-ups showed during 3 1/2 years no progression of the process.
