“…Histologically, a characteristic of chordomas is the presence of vacuolated cells up to 50 μm in diameter, called physaliferous cells. These cells are also seen in parachordomas but are reported to be fewer in number (Behzatoglu et al 2007). The bi-, tri-and multi-nucleated cells described in the case presented here have not been noted in either conventional chordomas or parachordomas.…”

“…The notochord is an axial mesodermal tissue element which lies ventral to the spinal cord and provides mechanical strength to the embryo. However the histogenesis of parachordoma remains uncertain (Behzatoglu et al, 2007). In all approximately 40 cases of parachordoma have been reported in English language publications to date, in locations such as the lower leg, thigh, retroperitoneum and thoracic wall.…”

had skeletal involvement. However, the bony growth disturbances were found to affect all bones distal to the level of the compression equally. In our case there was a random pattern of bony growth disturbance. Neonatal forearm compartment syndrome secondary to a proven cause of intra-uterine external compression has not been reported. Various proposed causes of external compression include postural deformities (Dunn, 1976), amniotic band constriction (Kline and Russell Moore, 1992), umbilical cord loops (Perricone and Granata, 1982) and compression during delivery (Tsujino and Hooper, 1997). There was no clear evidence for any of these mechanisms in the report of 24 cases of forearm compartment syndrome (Ragland III et al., 2005). In our child we saw the compressing umbilical cord loop at delivery. One can only postulate that the differing grades of distal bony disturbance are secondary to differing levels of ischaemia.
