title: Cervical chordoma with intradural invasion. A case report.
abstract: An unusual case of cervical chordoma with intradural invasion is presented. Anterior resection of the vertebral body with Kiel (calf) bone grafting was performed. Computer tomographs taken on follow-up, four-and-a-half years later, showed the bone graft to be well incorporated and the residual tumor in arrest.
