Abstract:
The authors discuss an unusual complication of dislocation of the symphysis pubis in a female aged 11 years, consisting of an ossified perineal haematoma on one side of the vagina and in the corresponding labrum minore. The most probable pathogenetic hypothesis is that fragments of the periosteum of the pubis remained included in the haematoma, and this was followed by gravitation towards the more dependent tissues.
