Abstract
Burkitt’s lymphoma is one of the most hematologic malignancies that involve the central nervous system. Our patient had a rare presenting symptom of lymphoma during pregnancy. It is reasonable to search for Burkitt’s lymphoma in every patient with abdominal mass and neurologic symptom. Involvement of cranial nerves especially abducens are among this neurologic complications but are rare as presenting symptoms of lymphoma.
