Cervical chordoma with intradural invasion. A case report.
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.
