“…5,17 Diplopia caused by involvement of the abducens nerves, which pass through the Dorello canals on the posterior surface of the clivus is a common presentation. 8 Because of the proximity of the clivus to the sella turcica, endocrinopathy may occur if the lesion involves the pituitary. 8 We searched the available literature and were able to find only 3 previously reported cases of primary clival osteosarcomas.…”

“…8 Because of the proximity of the clivus to the sella turcica, endocrinopathy may occur if the lesion involves the pituitary. 8 We searched the available literature and were able to find only 3 previously reported cases of primary clival osteosarcomas. 10,18,19 We then broadened our search to include primary osteosarcomas involving the sella as a result of the proximity of the sella to the clivus and the likelihood that such tumors likely involved the clivus even if not explicitly stated in the report.…”

“…Tumors commonly seen arising from the clivus include chordomas, chondrosarcomas, and metastasis. 8 Traditionally, the clivus is classified into upper, middle, and lower segments to help characterize surgical approaches. The upper clivus extends from the dorsum sellae to the porus of the abducens nerve.…”

“…The clivus, made up of the basisphenoid and basiocciput, is a rare site for these tumors; it forms the anterior margin of the foramen magnum and the posterior portion of the central skull base. 8 The sella turcica, containing the pituitary, lies anterior and superior to the clivus. Lesions of the clivus, particularly those in the upper segment, can involve the sella.…”

“…Clivus tumors are rare tumors. The tumors affecting the clivus are chordoma, chondrosarcoma, metastatic tumors, plasmacytoma (myeloma), meningioma, monostatic fibrous dysplasia, lymphoma, giant cell tumors, Langerhans histiocytosis, and intraosseous hemangiomas [7, 8]. Clival chordomas and chondrosarcomas are the most common of these tumors [7].…”

Tumors Presenting as Multiple Cranial Nerve Palsies

et al. 2017

Cranial nerve palsy could be one of the presenting features of underlying benign or malignant tumors of the head and neck. The tumor can involve the cranial nerves by local compression, direct infiltration or by paraneoplastic process. Cranial nerve involvement depends on the anatomical course of the cranial nerve and the site of the tumor. Patients may present with single or multiple cranial nerve palsies. Multiple cranial nerve involvement could be sequential or discrete, unilateral or bilateral, painless or painful. The presentation could be acute, subacute or recurrent. Anatomic localization is the first step in the evaluation of these patients. The lesion could be in the brain stem, meninges, base of skull, extracranial or systemic disease itself. We present 3 cases of underlying neoplasms presenting as cranial nerve palsies: a case of glomus tumor presenting as cochlear, glossopharyngeal, vagus and hypoglossal nerve palsies, clivus tumor presenting as abducens nerve palsy, and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma presenting as oculomotor, trochlear, trigeminal and abducens nerve palsies due to paraneoplastic involvement. History and physical examination, imaging, autoantibodies and biopsy if feasible are useful for the diagnosis. Management outcomes depend on the treatment of the underlying tumor.

A practical overview of CT and MRI features of developmental, inflammatory, and neoplastic lesions of the sphenoid body and clivus

The sphenoid bone is an unpaired bone that contributes to the formation of the skull base. Despite the enormous progress in transnasal endoscopic visualisation, imaging techniques remain the cornerstones to characterise any pathological condition arising in this area. In the present review, we offer a bird’s-eye view of the developmental, inflammatory, and neoplastic alterations affecting the sphenoid body and clivus, with the aim to propose a practical diagnostic aid for radiologists based on clinico-epidemiological, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging features.
