摘要
Among the idiopathic forms of osteoporosis, the one developing during pregnancy is the least common and scarcely studied. Poorly understood, it seems to stem from transient failure of calcitropic hormones and decreased osteoblast activity. A 25-year-old patient presented with coxofemoral pain during the last three months of pregnancy, followed by multiple vertebral compression fractures at postpartum. Laboratory, radiological, densitometric and histological examinations led to a diagnosis of idiopathic osteoporosis in pregnancy, once other causes of osteopenia had been ruled out. Bone densitometries performed 12 and 24 months later showed an increase in mineral density, thus demonstrating the self-limited nature of this entity.
