Abstract. Purpose:To report a case of chordoma in the skull base that invaded the orbit in spite of multiple surgeries and that necessitated eventual enucleation of both eyes. Case:A 49-year-old male was referred to us for intracranial chordoma. Nasal obstruction led to detection of tumor in the skull base which was identified as chordoma. He had received two sessions of tumor removal. Findings and Clinical Course:Corrected visual acuity was 1.2 right and 0.02 left. His left eye showed optic atrophy and central scotoma. He received a total of 13 surgeries during the following 6 years. The tumor invaded the orbits and both eyes lost light perception after 15th surgery. Both eyes had to be enucleated due to painful exposure keratitis and necessity of future intraorbital surgeries. Conclusion:This case illustrates that chordoma in the skull base may invade the orbits and result in bilateral enucleation.
