Chordomas are uncommon bone slow-growing tumors developing from remnants of the notochord. They are typically seen in adults, and rarely in children. We present the case of a 16-year-old male patient with a clival chordoma, presenting with progressive headache and diplopia. In this case report we aim to provide an educational explanation of the radiological findings, diagnostic challenges, and therapeutic and management strategies.
