[Pubic symphysitis secondary to fistula. Physiopathological hypothesis].
Symphysitis of the pubis due to Streptococcus occurred after endoscopic resection of the prostate in a 69-year-old man. Despite a well conducted antibiotic regimen, signs persisted one year later and required arthrography that showed a prostato-symphysis fistula. This procedure might be used to find an explanation of certain persistent cases of symphysitis. Fistulization between the prostate and the pubic symphysis would be a new pathogenic hypothesis for symphysitis of the pubis.
