Spontaneous CSF rhinorrhea as a presenting symptom of a clival chordoma

Abstract

CSF rhinorrhea is a rare presenting symptom of a clival chordoma as these tumors do not tend to show dural invasion as a histological feature. Here we discuss the case of a 61 years old female with spontaneous rhinorrhea secondary to a clival chordoma, and the value of some specific MRI sequences in accurate identification of a tumor with such atypical presentation, enabling the surgeon to plan accordingly.

Keywords: CSF leak; CSF rhinorrhea; Clival chordoma; Cordoma de clivus; Fístula de LCR; PROPELLER DWI; Rinolicuorrea de LCR.
