Cordoma sacrococcígeo: presentación de un caso.

Introduction: Sacrococcigeal cordoma represents more than 50 percent of the cordomas. The total resection in block combined with radiotherapy in high dose has shown to prolong the recurrence. Clinical case: Male, 58 years old operated of sacrococcigeal cordoma is presented by means of total resection in block for posterior approach. The postoperative image studies confirmed the total removal. It presented cerebrospinal fistulae and local infection treated with spinal drainage and antibiotics. Also, transient urinary incontinence occurred for 6 months. After that he received cobalt radiotherapy. Until now he stayed asymptomatic and free of illness in resonance magnetic images. Conclusions: The best treatment options are obtained with a focus multidisciplinary, in specialized centers and with advanced neurosurgical and radiotherapy techniques. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
