A Case Report of Ependymoma in a Pregnant Client With Thoracic and Lumbopelvic Pain

Discussion: This case describes how systemic disease may present as pregnancy-related musculoskeletal dysfunction. Recognition of non–mechanical-based symptom complaints may assist in the detection of occult pathology. There are, however, rare occurrences when red flag signs appear only in the final stages of the disease with irreversible tumor expansion and metastases, ultimately leading to death. Informed Consent: This case is unique as the individual under discussion is deceased and therefore unable to provide consent.
