title: Osteitis pubis: an unusual postpartum presentation.
abstract: 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.
