Abstract
✓ The authors report a case in which a chordoma ballooned an otherwise intact sella. Following almost total removal of the lesion, the patient recovered normal vision and returned to work. Neoplastic transformation of ectopic notochordal tissue is suggested as an explanation for the unique intrasellar origin of this tumor.
