Postpartum Transient Osteoporosis of Hip (TOH) of a 31 year old woman: a case Report
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 17, Issue 2
Abstract
Hip pain, pelvic pain and low back pain (LBP) are common conditions during pregnancy and postpartum. Certain numbers of cases of transient osteoporosis of hip (TOH) have been reported in the literature, but its real prevalence seems to be underestimated. We report a case of 31-year-old patient who presented during postpartum period (two weeks after delivery) with severe right hip joint pain and radicular symptoms which mimics lumbar radiculopathy. On request of an Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan of lumbar-sacral spine, short tau/TI inversion recovery (STIR) coronal sequence was also performed which ultimately led to the identification of features of TOH. The use of coronal STIR sequence in addition to the routine sequences of lumbar-sacral imaging was paramount of importance in diagnosing the condition.Patient was treated conservatively, with partial resolution of symptoms.
