摘要
BACKGROUND: Rupture of the symphysis pubis during vaginal delivery is a rare but debilitating complication. Factors contributing to rupture are poorly defined. CASE: A healthy primigravida suffered a rupture of her symphysis pubis during an otherwise uncomplicated vaginal delivery. She experienced significant pain and difficulty walking for 6 months after the injury. Her 5-cm symphyseal separation was managed successfully with physical therapy and activity restriction. The patient's two subsequent deliveries (one vaginal and one via cesarean delivery) were uneventful. CONCLUSION: Severe symphyseal rupture during vaginal delivery can be managed without surgery. Risk factors for rupture are not well defined. Based on a literature review, there is a significant risk of repeat symphyseal rupture with subsequent vaginal delivery.
