摘要：Tumors from remnants of the embryonic notochord are called as Chordomas.These are slow growing,yet aggressive tumors.Despite treatment,these,low grade,malignant tumors are very prone to recurrence and 6 years is approximately the median survival time.Though commonly located in the sacrococcygeal or sphenooccipital regions,their incidence in the cervical spine is around 7.5%.Treatment approaches vary from surgical excision to radiotherapy and chemotherapy.Outcome of these tumors depends on the size and location of tumour and the course of treatment delivered.Surgery is the treatment of choice with the goal to remove maximum tumor as possible and thereafter,patients are offered radiotherapy or chemotherapy.Due to the proximity of these tumors to various vital structures such as brain and spinal cord,the management requires the involvement of various subspecialties working in cohesion.We present the anesthetic management of a 32-year-old male patient who presented with recurrence of C2 chordoma postradiotherapy and was a challenge for airway management.
