Extreme Posterolateral Approach for Resection of a Large Craniovertebral Junction Chordoma

In this video, we presented the resection of a large craniovertebral junction chordoma using an extreme posterolateral approach. This approach is a valuable option for midline lesions with lateral condyle extension and intradural extension offering the possibility of a craniovertebral junction fixation during the same stage. Transposition of the vertebral artery provides access to the lateral mass of C1. The anteriorly located part of the tumor on the opposite side was removed with endoscopic assistance.
