title: [Normal and pathologic symphysis pubis: value of imaging].
abstract: The pubic symphysis is a region which has been little or poorly investigated by imaging. It is however electively and primarily affected by many micro and macro-trauma and is a convenient witness of more general disorders, in particular rheumatological. After a brief anatomical and biomechanical review, the principal pathological aspects are set out.
