Activity Title	Case Report: Literature review of a Complicated Postpartum Pubic Symphysitis case
Details	Septic arthritis of the pubic symphysis is a rare infection, often occurring in particular patients including: athletes with chronic pubic inflammation, women in the postpartum period, drug addicts, patients following a surgical treatment for urinary incontinence or patients with pelvic cancer.. To date, it is an often unknown infection because it is sometimes difficult to diagnose especially as the nosology remains unclear in the literature. Indeed, it must be suspected in the presence of pelvic girdle pain with fever and sometimes lameness or painful irradiation towards the lower limbs, but the symptomatology can be misleading.. This clinical presentation helps guide additional studies that are not always specific with many differential diagnoses. CT and MRI are the two most sensitive exams.. As for treatment, there are several therapeutic options whose pillar is antibiotic therapy.. We present here a case of pubic symphysitis complicating the postpartum period.
