Purpose: Clival Chordomas are locally aggressive tumours which pose a significant treatment challenge. Endoscopic endonasal approach for clival chordomas is correlated with higher resection rates and lower morbidity rates in comparison to open approaches. We present our initial single institution experience and short-term patient outcomes following endoscopic endonasal approach for resection of clival chordomas.Materials and methods: This is a retrospective analysis of ten patients undergoing endoscopic endonasal approach for clival chordomas in our neurosurgical unit over a 6 year period between August 2010 and September 2016. The procedures were performed using two surgeons, four hands, binostril endoscopic endonasal approach with a Karl Storz® endoscope and intraoperative BrainLab® image guidance.Results: Overall 15 endoscopic endonasal approach resections of clival chordoma were performed in 10 patients with median follow up period of 39.5 months (range 9–76). Gross total resection was achieved in 4 cases (40%), near total resection in 4 cases (40%) and subtotal resection in 2 cases (20%). 5 cases (50%) required revision resections. Cerebrospinal fluid leak occurred in 2 patients. 1 case of meningitis occurred in a patient with revision surgery. There were no new neurological deficits post operatively with 3 patients demonstrating resolution of diplopia post operatively. No recurrence occurred following gross total resection. 1 out of 4 cases of near total resection showed evidence of progression during the follow up period. Both cases of subtotal resection demonstrated evidence of progression with one dying of unrelated cause during the follow up period.Conclusion: Endoscopic endonasal approach represents a safe technique for debulking and resection of clival chordomas. Due to the rarity of clival chordomas, it is important that patients with this pathology are managed in high volume skull base centres where a multi-disciplinary team approach is available.
