This case report presents the intensive care management of a 65-year-old male patient who underwent hemicorporectomy due to advanced intrapelvic chordoma. Early postoperative complications included supraventricular tachycardia, ventilator-associated pneumonia, and sepsis, while late complications involved wound infection, fluid management challenges, and pleural effusion. Candida parapsilosis was isolated from the wound site, and clinical improvement was achieved with antifungal therapy. After a two-month intensive care stay, the patient was stabilized and transferred to the orthopedic department.
