ABSTRACT
We report the case of a 19-year-old Native American woman who presented with bilateral lower extremity weakness due to spinal cord compression from late-stage Hodgkin's lymphoma. Hodgkin's lymphoma rarely has an initial presentation of spinal cord compression, except in cases of late-stage disease. The patient partially attributed her delayed pursuit of care to the difficulty of scheduling an appointment during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted access to care and the potential for early detection of disease, as seen in this patient. Additionally, Native Americans on South Dakota Reservations face unique challenges that affect access to healthcare and health outcomes.
