Abstract

Transient osteoporosis of pregnancy is a pathology of low prevalence and difficult diagnosis that mainly affects pregnant women in the third trimester of pregnancy. It is characterized by mechanical joint pain, more frequent in the lower limbs, radiological osteopenia, and bone oedema on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A series of 4 cases is presented in pregnant women between 26 weeks of gestation and the early puerperium with symptoms of coxalgia and/or knee pain. The treatment was based on conservative measures: analgesics that are allowed during pregnancy and non-weight bearing on the joints, and the possibility of corticosteroid infiltration into the joint. Bisphosphonates can be added in the puerperium. All cases resolved within a maximum of 9 months, without subsequent sequelae.

Resumen

La osteoporosis transitoria del embarazo es una patología de baja prevalencia y difícil diagnóstico que afecta sobre todo a embarazadas en el tercer trimestre de gestación. Se caracteriza por dolor mecánico articular, más frecuente en miembros inferiores, osteopenia radiológica y edema óseo en resonancia magnética nuclear (RMN). Presentamos una serie de 4 casos en gestantes entre las 26 semanas de gestación y el puerperio precoz con clínica de coxalgia y/o gonalgia. El tratamiento se basó en medidas conservadoras: analgésicos permitidos durante la gestación y descarga articular, con la posibilidad de utilizar infiltración articular de corticoesteroides. En el puerperio se pueden añadir bifosfonatos. Todos los cuadros se resolvieron en un plazo máximo de 9 meses, sin secuelas posteriores.
