Cause of death on death certificate

[Karen McDonald]

Could it be ependymoma?

I wondered that, too! It popped up when I threw the other words at Auntie Goggle.
But what's the squiggle at the beginning, why would he write the "d" with a huge gap in the middle, and what on earth is going on witht he first "m"?! 
Mind you, we are looking at a doctor's handwriting...

Perhaps OP you could post some more of the cert so we can look at more of the handwriting?

(It’s not the doctors handwriting Karen, it’s the registrar’s)

Ah, OK. Sorry! I thought the doctor filled out the form.

[mckha489]

Of course, the doctor did fill out a form, and then the registrar copied it out. so.....maybe the registrar couldn’t read the doctors handwriting

Thank you so much everyone for your input. I've never had this much of an issue deciphering a death certificate before.

So far it does indeed seem to be Recurrent Intracranial Ependymoma, but I will post here later a photograph of the whole certificate for you to peruse over.

From the Internet

An ependymoma is a tumour that arises from the ependyma, a tissue of the central nervous system. Usually, in pediatric cases the location is intracranial, while in adults it is spinal.

Sounds awful.
