Several cases of intracranial intradural chordomas have been reported; however, we present a case of primary intradural chordoma along the cauda equina, which, on literature review, has not been previously described. Although this is an uncommon location for a chordoma, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of an intradural lumbar mass because chordoma has a high recurrence rate following surgery and may influence a surgeons approach to the lesion.", }
