Introduction: Chordomas are rare tumours that originate anywhere along the craniospinal axis and present various diagnostic hurdles. High recurrence rate even after treatment and tendency to involve other regions within the craniospinal axis make this condition more devastating. Hence, early and timely recognition is of utmost importance in order to choose an appropriate therapeutic modality as well as to achieve better recovery and long-term survival. This case report discusses a case of 47-year-old woman who presented with a history of gradually worsening headaches and nasal discharge. The findings obtained from Contrast-Enhanced Computed Tomography (CECT) of the brain were indicative of clival chordoma with associated mass-effects and loco-regional spread. To the best of our knowledge, only a few cases of clival chordoma are reported from the Indian subcontinent.
