We report about a case of a woman in her 50s with a chondrosarcoma of the petrous apex. She has a strabism due to a right-sided amblyopia since childhood and noticed a slowly progressive squint angle in the last months. Her general practitioner (GP) referred her to an ophthalmologist who diagnosed a left abducens paresis and initiated an MRI demonstrating a mass in the left petrous apex. A transnasal endoscopic transsphenoidal biopsy revealed a grade I chondrosarcoma. The patient underwent an endoscopic transsphenoidal anterior petrosectomy approach with complete removal of the tumour. After surgery the squint angle gradually improved to previous levels, so that the patient was able to resume her work. This report demonstrates that even slight changes of a squint angle without diplopia, in this case because of pre-existing amblyopia, could be a hallmark of an intracranial process.

“…The primary objective in the treatment of intracranial chondrosarcomas is GTR of the tumor [[2], [5], [9], [14]]. However, total resection is not always possible because of their proximity to cranial nerves, important vascular structures, and eloquent brain areas such as the brainstem [[1], [4]]. Adjuvant treatments including fractionated radiotherapy, stereotactic radiosurgery, or proton beam radiotherapy should be administered to patients with high-grade diseases or in whom total tumor resection cannot be achieved [[3]–[5], [10], [11], [14], [15]].…”

“…They constitute approximately 11% of all malignant primary bone tumors [1,3]. Intracranial involvement of chondrosarcomas is rare and accounts for 0.15% of all intracranial tumors and 6% of all skull base tumors [3][4][5]. Intracranial chondrosarcomas are usually located at the anterior skull base, maxillary sinus, ethmoid sinus, sella turcica, and nasal cavity [2,3,5].…”

Introduction: Extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma of the jugular foramen is a rare clinical entity, especially in the pediatric population. Thus, it can be confused with other pathologies. Case Presentation: We report an extremely rare case of a 14-year-old female patient with jugular foramen myxoid chondrosarcoma that was completely removed through microsurgical resection. Conclusion: The primary purpose of the treatment is gross total resection of the chondrosarcomas. However, adjuvant methods such as radiotherapy should additionally be applied in patients who have high-grade diseases or cannot undergo gross total resection because of anatomic localization.
