520 _aLymphoma has 14% incidence rate of metastasis to the bone. A case of a Gravida 3 Para 2 (2002) initially diagnosed with Potts disease at T7-T8 by clinical presentation and MRI at 32 weeks age of gestation is presented. Paraplegia which is a paralysis of the lower half of the body including both legs, paresthesia and persistent low back pain presented by our patient. Conservative management was administered and delivered by normal spontaneous delivery at 37 weeks age of gestation.
