Cause of death on death certificate

[Tim Brayshaw]

Hi there,

I was wondering if someone could be so kind as to help me decipher a cause of death. I can see it was Intracranial, but completely at a loss for what the rest of the entry says.

I do hope someone can help me.

Many Thanks

Tim.

The first word possibly Recurrent?

Agree with 'recurrent'.

As for the rest, the closest thing I can find is periorbital ecchymosis. Could it be a shortened version (periecchymosis?) with terrible handwriting? I have no confidence in this suggestion.

Otherwise, the middle part looks to me like -clys- which of course doesn't fit the above.

Recurrent intracranial <something>

Hello.

No expert, but these are the suggestions of our friend.

I've been looking too but so far nothing jumps out. I think it starts with a P or an R.

An outside possibility that the last part could be ??sarcoma, which would mean some form of brain cancer

I’ve found this site useful in the past,

Not having much luck though.

Looking at the surname of the certifier which I am confident is Dennis then the word ends in a or e
I wondered if the  -C L- is actually a d, so *DYS*. But that didn’t help.

I thought first letter more likely a P as it nothing like the R of recurrent.  Then either a vowel e?  And a lower case p.  (OR it’s a slip of the pen and it’s a PH word.  But I think the tail of the second p is too deliberate for that)

Could the final bit perhaps be sarcoma?

Best regards,

Edit: Sorry, Gadget! Didn't see you'd already suggested that.

Could it be ependymoma?
