title: Postpartum osteitis pubis.
abstract: We have presented a rarely described case of osteitis pubis occurring in a postpartum period. This rapidly progressive, nonsuppurative osteonecrosis of the symphysis pubis is frequently confused with other entities. Because the prognosis for recovery is invariably good, acute intervention is directed at relieving pain by immobility and anti-inflammatory agents.
