Chordoid glioma is a rare low-grade tumor located in the third ventricle-hypothalamic region. Since its first report, 37 cases have been described in the literature. We report on an additional case that we considered significant because of its incidental detection and its uneventful surgical removal.

Chordoid glioma of the third ventricle
TLDR
No detailed information is available on the outcome after surgery and adjuvant treatment of chordoid glioma, so the authors decided to review the literature to find out more about this rare tumour.
Chordoid glioma : a case report of unusual location and neuroradiological characteristics.
TLDR
A rare case of histologically confirmed chordoid glioma located in the left thalamus, not attached to any of the midline structures having unusual neuroradiological characteristics is reported.
Chordoid Glioma of the Third Ventricle, a Rare Tumor with an Unexpected Outcome
TLDR
A case of a male patient of advanced age, with a third ventricle mass lesion, who presented with a progressive right temporal hemianopia, who suffered a major brainstem hemorrhagic stroke and, unfortunately, died.
A Rare Case of Chordoid Glioma With Large Calcification Mimicking Craniopharyngioma.
TLDR
A novel case of a 51-year-old male who underwent gross total removal of the tumor of the third ventricle with high calcification is presented, leading at first to a hypothesis of craniopharyngioma.
Chordoid glioma: ten years of a low-grade tumor with high morbidity.
TLDR
The morbidity of this condition is likely to remain high but may be minimized by a less aggressive surgical approach together with surveillance and early use of radiosurgery.
Chordoid glioma of the third ventricle: a patient presenting with SIADH and a review of this rare tumor
TLDR
It is suggested that chordoid glioma should be included in the differential diagnosis of uncommon masses of the third ventricle, especially in middle-aged women, and current management guidelines are emphasized.
Freiburg Neuropathology Case Conference
TLDR
The case of a 10-month-old baby girl with an atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor is presented, using findings from magnetic resonance with T1 and T2-weighted imaging as well as histological and immunohistochemical methods.
Chordoid glioma of the third ventricle: Four cases including one case with papillary features
TLDR
It is considered that the majority of chordoid gliomas had an ependymal origin, and that a small minority might have originated from a multipotential stem cell having ependedymal and neuronal cell differentiation.
Chordoid glioma of the third ventricle: A systematic review and single-center experience
Chordoid Glioma: A Case Report and Literature Review
TLDR
Mortality in the immediate postoperative period is 28%, and postoperative morbidity is 60%, which are statistically higher after gross total resection as compared with subtotal resection, which means Translamina terminalis approach is considered to be the best approach.

Treatment and long term outcome are limited but chordoid gliomas appear to be indolent lesions that may be cured with gross total resection.

Third Ventricular Chordoid Glioma: A Distinct Clinicopathologic Entity
TLDR
A series of 8 third ventricular neoplasms with a distinctive chordoid appearance that appear to represent a clinicopathologic entity are encountered, ranging in age from 31 to 70 years, and consist of cords and clusters of cohesive, oval- to-polygonal epithelioid cells with abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm, relatively uniform round-to-oval nuclei, and inconspicuous nucleoli.
Chordoid Glioma of the Third Ventricle
TLDR
Cytologic features, such as binucleation, absence of intranuclear pseudoinclusions and GFAP immunoreactivity, are particularly helpful in differentiating chordoid glioma from chordoid meningioma.
Origin of chordoid glioma of the third ventricle.
TLDR
Neuroanatomic, radiologic, and clinical evidence supports an anatomic origin for chordoid glioma from the vicinity of the lamina terminalis, as seen on neuroimaging studies and gross anatomy.
