Spinal hemangioblastoma presenting with low back pain in pregnancy.
[von hippel-lindau disease]
Low
back
pain
(
LBP
)
is
a
very
common
complaint
in
pregnancy
.
For
this
reason
,
it
is
often
considered
directly
attributable
to
the
pregnancy
rather
than
a
medical
problem
requiring
diagnostic
workup
.
Pregnancy-related
LBP
should
be
differentiated
from
the
rare
cases
of
LBP
associated
with
serious
spinal
diseases
.
Hemangioblastoma
is
a
vascular
tumor
of
the
central
nervous
system
that
very
rarely
can
involve
the
spinal
cord
.
Pregnancy
can
increase
the
growth
of
hemangioblastomas
,
leading
to
the
appearance
of
neurologic
symptoms
.
To
describe
an
unusual
cause
of
LBP
in
pregnancy
.
A
case
report
.
A
38
-
year
-old
woman
,
with
a
history
of
surgical
resection
of
a
cerebellar
hemangioblastoma
at
the
age
of
15
years
,
presented
at
38
weeks
of
gestation
with
worsening
LBP
and
numbness
of
the
lower
limbs
.
Diagnostic
workup
led
to
a
diagnosis
of
spinal
hemangioblastoma
.
The
tumor
was
removed
after
cesarean
section
in
the
39
th
week
of
gestation
.
The
detection
of
spinal
hemangioblastoma
resulted
in
a
good
outcome
for
both
mother
and
infant
.
This
case
emphasizes
the
main
role
of
clinical
evaluation
in
establishing
the
diagnostic
workup
,
especially
in
pregnancy
.
Although
LBP
is
commonly
reported
,
this
patient
's
medical
history
and
the
presence
of
clinical
signs
on
neurologic
examination
suggested
the
need
for
further
investigation
.
