Abstract
A patient with transient osteoporosis of the hip in her first trimester of pregnancy is reported in this study. Rapid symptomatic improvement after artificial abortion was observed. These findings exclude pressure on the obturator nerve, Sudeck's osteodystrophy, venous obstruction, and excessive demand of proteins and calcium in the etiology of this condition. Rather it is here suggested that chemical or hormonal factors related to pregnancy play an important role in the etiology. Es wird über eine Patientin mit transitorischer Osteoporose der Hüfte während der ersten 3 Monate der Schwangerschaft berichtet. Nach Interruptio wurde eine schnelle symptomatische Besserung beobachtet. Dies schließt Druck auf den Nervus obturatorius, Sudecksche Dystrophie, venöse Stauung, übermäßiger Bedarf an Proteinen und Kalzium als ätiologische Momente der Veränderung aus. Stattdessen nehmen die Autoren eher an, daß chemische oder hormonelle Faktoren, die im Zusammenhang mit der Schwangerschaft stehen, eine entscheidende Rolle in der Ätiologie spielen.Keywords
