²İstanbul Üniversitesi, İstanbul Tıp Fakültesi, Patoloji Anabilim Dalı, İstanbul, Türkiye Chordoid meningiomas are very similar to a chordoma as the name implies. It is a very rare pathological subtype of meningioma. The World Health Organisation has classified it as Grade II since 2000 because of its agressiveness and high recurrence rate. It is generally located supratentorially and accounts for 0.5-1% of all meningiomas. It is seen in middle-aged and elderly patients. If encountered in the pediatric age group, it can accompany disorders such as microcytic anemia and/or dysgammaglobulinemia. The first treatment option is surgery. Cure can be achieved only by total resection. Additional radiotherapy is required in cases where total removal of the tumor is not possible. We present a 33-year-old male who was operated for a suprasellar chordoid meningioma and review the literature. Anahtar Kelimeler : Chordoid meningioma, Suprasellar, Vision loss
