Chordoma in pediatric patients is very rare. Proton therapy has become a gold standard in the treatment of these neoplasms, as high dose escalation can be achieved regarding the target while maximizing the sparing of the healthy tissues near the tumor. The aim of the work was to assess the evolution of morphological sequences during treatment using T1/T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the early response assessment of a classic chordoma of the skull base in a pediatric patient who had undergone surgical excision. Our results demonstrated a significant quantitative reduction in the residual nodule component adhered to the medullary bulb junction, with an almost complete recovery of normal anatomy at the end of the irradiation treatment. This was mainly shown in the T2-weighted MRI. On the other hand, the classic component of the lesion was predominantly present and located around the tooth of the axis. The occipital condyles were morphologically and dimensionally stable for the entire irradiation period. In conclusion, the application of this type of monitoring methodology, which is unusual during the administration of a proton treatment for chordoma, highlighted the unexpected early response of the disease. At the same time, it allowed the continuous assessment of the reliability of the treatment plan.
