An incidentally detected third ventricle chordoid glioma.
Chordoid glioma is a rare low-grade tumor located in the third ventricle-hypothalamic region. Since its first report, 37 cases have been described in the literature. We report on an additional case that we considered significant because of its incidental detection and its uneventful surgical removal.
