Objective
Lesions of the ventral craniovertebral junction are difficult to access owing to their deep location and proximity to critical neurovascular and pharyngeal structures. In this study, we aimed to describe the surgical technique and clinical outcomes of the endoscopic endonasal transnasopharyngeal approach for ventral craniovertebral junction lesions and highlight key considerations regarding approach selection, airway management, and occipitocervical stabilization.
Methods
We retrospectively reviewed 7 patients who underwent the endoscopic endonasal transnasopharyngeal approach for ventral craniovertebral junction lesions. The analysis included preoperative planning for surgical access, intraoperative technique, postoperative management, airway and nutritional strategies, and the need for occipitocervical fixation. One representative case is presented to illustrate key technical steps.
Results
Of the 7 patients, 6 had neoplastic lesions and 1 had basilar invagination. Despite a relatively large mean lesion size of 39.4 mm, subtotal or greater resection was achieved in 5 of the 6 tumor cases. Occipitocervical fixation was performed in 2 cases. Two patients underwent prophylactic tracheostomy because of anticipated airway compromise. Of the 5 orally intubated cases, 3 were extubated immediately and 2 by postoperative day 2. Oral feeding resumed by day 10 in 6 cases. No postoperative infections or cerebrospinal fluid leakage occurred. One patient experienced transient velopharyngeal insufficiency, which resolved spontaneously.
Conclusion
The endoscopic endonasal transnasopharyngeal approach is a safe and effective option for ventral craniovertebral junction lesions when appropriately selected. Careful preoperative evaluation and individualized management of airway and spinal stability are essential for favorable outcomes.

Objective
Chordoma, a rare malignant tumor originating from embryonal notochord remnants, exhibits high resistance to conventional treatments, making surgical resection imperative. However, the factors influencing prognosis specifically for cervical spine chordoma have not been clearly identified. We investigate the prognosis of cervical spine chordoma with factors influential in a nationwide multicenter retrospective study.
Methods
This study included all patients diagnosed with cervical spine chordoma at 7 tertiary referral centers from January 1998 to March 2023, excluding those with clivus and thoracic spine chordomas extending into the cervical spine. Local recurrence (LR) was identified through follow-up magnetic resonance imaging, either as reappearance in completely resected tumors or regrowth in residual tumors. The study assessed LR and overall survival, analyzing factors influencing LR and death.
Results
Forty-five patients with cervical spine chordoma had a mean age of 46.4 years. Over a median follow-up of 52 months, LR and distant metastasis were observed in 21 (46.7%) and 4 patients (8.9%), respectively, and 16 patients (36%) were confirmed dead. The 5-year and 10-year cumulative LR rates were 51.3% and 60%, respectively, while the 5-year and 10-year survival rates were 82% and 53%. Age was the only significant factor affecting mortality (hazard ratio, 1.04; 95% confidence interval, 1.04–1.07; p=0.015). Notably, the degree of resection and adjuvant therapy did not statistically significantly impact local tumor control and mortality.
Conclusion
This study, the largest multicenter retrospective analysis of cervical spine chordoma in Korea, identified age as the only factor significantly affecting patient survival.

Objective
Chordomas are slow-growing tumors, with a high tendency to local relapse. En bloc resection is related to the most favorable outcome in terms of survival but is frequently associated with permanent neurological deficits involving sphincters and sexual functions. In the present article, we describe an innovative technique of en bloc resection followed by reconstruction of the sacral nerves with nerve grafts.
Methods
The chordoma was excised through a posterior approach after dividing the proximal and distal sacral nerves using the established technique. After that, a microsurgical S2-S3-S4 nerve reconstruction was performed connecting the proximal and distal stumps with sural nerve grafts withdrawn from both lower limbs.
Results
Immediately after surgery, the patient experienced complete impairment of sexual function and sphincters with urinary and fecal incontinence. After 6 months, there was a progressive recovery of sexual function and sphincter control. One year after the operation, the patient achieved an adequate sexual life (erection and ejaculation) and complete control of the bladder and anal sphincter.
Conclusion
Reconstruction of nerves sacrificed during sacral tumor removal has been shown to be effective in restoring sphincter and sexual function and is a promising technique that may significantly improve patients' quality of life.

Objective
Endoscopic approaches to the craniovertebral junction (CVJ) have been established as viable and effective surgical treatments in the past decade. One of the major complications is leakage of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and feasibility of suture closure at the nasopharyngeal mucosa upon durotomy.
Methods
A series of consecutive patients who underwent different endoscopic approaches to the CVJ were retrospectively reviewed. The pathologies, surgical corridors, neurological and functional outcomes, radiological evaluations, and complications were analyzed. Different strategies of repair for the intraoperative CSF leakage were described and compared.
Results
A total of 22 patients covering 13 years were analyzed. There were 12, 2, and 8 patients who underwent transnasal, transoral, and combined approaches, respectively. There were 8 patients (36.4%) who experienced intraoperative CSF leakage, and were grouped into 2: 4 in the nonsuture (NS) group and 4 in the suture-repaired (SR) group. The NS group had 3 (75%) persistent CSF leakages postoperation that caused 1 mortality, whereas patients of the SR group had only 1 minor CSF rhinorrhea that healed spontaneously within days.
Conclusion
In this series of 22 patients who required anterior endoscopic resection of pathologies at the CVJ, there was 1 (4.5%) serious complication related to CSF leakage. For patients who had no durotomy, the mucosal incision at the nasopharynx usually healed rapidly and there were few procedure-related complications. For patients with intraoperative CSF leakage, suture closure was technically challenging but could significantly lower the risks of postoperative complications.

Dedifferentiated chordoma (DC) is defined as a chordoma containing sarcoma components. DC is distinguished from conventional chordoma by the rapidity of tumor growth and the potential for distant metastasis. We report two cases of DC, which are developed in the sacrum. We reviewed the medical records and imaging studies of 2 patients diagnosed with DC and the literature published. In the first case, percutaneous biopsy revealed that it was conventional chordoma in the sacrum. Patient underwent radiation therapy (RT). Six years after the RT, the tumor recurred. Surgical removal was performed and the recurrent tumor was diagnosed as DC in histopathologic examination. In the second case, a patient underwent gross total resection of sacral tumor, which was diagnosed with conventional chordoma. Aggravated tumor was detected after 4 months, and patient underwent reoperation. The second operation revealed the transformation of the tumor into DC. The survival time of the patients after the diagnosis was 10 and 31 months. Dedifferentiated chordoma is a rare and highly aggressive tumor. De novo type exists, but it usually transformed from recurrent chordoma after surgical resection or radiation.

A 52-year-old woman presented with a thoracic chordoma at T1-3 level as abnormal sensations on the trunk and low extremities and both legs weakness. Almost total resection was possible through posterolateral costotransversectomy. The patient could ambulate at 3 days after the operation without any sequelae. Histologic study revealed a malignant chordoma with no sarcomatous differentiation.
