Two cases of hip algodystrophy during pregnancy were reported. Symptoms appeared in the second or third trimester, were more severe on the left, and showed radiological decalcification, with full recovery within a year.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Radiology
  • Obstetrics

Background:

  • Pregnancy can present unique musculoskeletal challenges.
  • Hip pain during pregnancy requires accurate diagnosis to differentiate from other conditions.

Observation:

  • Two cases of hip algodystrophy were observed during pregnancy.
  • Symptoms typically manifest in the second or third trimester.
  • Affected hips showed radiological decalcification, often more pronounced on the left.

Findings:

  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a highly accurate, specific, and non-invasive diagnostic tool.
  • MRI has become the preferred method for diagnosing hip algodystrophy and differentiating it from early avascular necrosis of the femoral head.
  • Scintigraphy and tomodensitometry are less frequently used for initial diagnosis.

Implications:

  • Algodystrophy in pregnancy resolves within one year without lasting effects.
  • The exact physiopathogenic mechanism is under investigation, but mechanical factors appear significant.
  • Early and accurate diagnosis using MRI can guide management and reassure patients.
