disjonction symphysaire du peripartum. A propos de trois cas et revue de la litterature

ABSTRACT

Peripartum pubic symphysis separation is a rare complication of delivery, but the incidence seems to be under-estimated. We report three cases of pubic syphysis separation identified in a two-year period. All case occurred following spontaneous non operative vaginal deliveries. The underlying etiology and pathophysiology has not been fully elucidated. Thus, prevention is difficult. Conservative therapy usually result in a complete recovery within many weeks
