- Chordoid glioma: Case report and review of the literature(2015) MORAIS, Barbara A.; MENENDEZ, Djalma F. S.; MEDEIROS, Raphael S. S.; TEIXEIRA, Manoel J.; LEPSKI, Guilherme A.INTRODUCTION: Chordoid glioma is a rare low-grade brain tumor originating from the anterior wall of the third ventricle. CASE PRESENTATION: A 13-year-old female with progressive intermittent holocranial headaches and a diagnosis of chordoid glioma underwent tumor resection in our neuro-oncology unit. DISCUSSION: We review all 79 cases of chordoid glioma reported in the literature so far, focusing on the diagnostic criteria, treatment options and prognosis. CONCLUSION: Efficient treatment of chordoid glioma depends upon radical surgical resection. Based on the reviewed data, which showed high morbi-mortality rates for this kind of tumor, we recommend a more conservative treatment approach. (C) 2015 The Authors.
