Osteitis pubis: an unusual postpartum presentation.
BACKGROUND
Osteitis pubis is a poorly understood and uncommon disorder rarely associated with spontaneous delivery.


METHODS
We present a case consistent with osteitis pubis that followed a normal vaginal delivery and where symptoms developed earlier than ever previously reported.


CONCLUSIONS
The potential benefit of low molecular heparin is discussed.
