Still, in some cases, especially when it is associated with walking difficulties, persistent and/or severe pubic pain, and inflammation that can be confirmed by laboratory parameters, it should be taken with additional caution. Differential diagnosis should include osteitis pubis, a non-bacterial, self-limited inflammation that leaves no permanent consequences, but also, more importantly, osteomyelitis of the pubic symphysis. This is a rare bacterial infection in pregnancy, important to be diagnosed in time and treated early and properly since it can leave serious long-term complications such as fistulas that require prolonged treatment and sometimes even surgery. A multidisciplinary approach is mandatory to exclude all the other potential causes of pubic pain and make a timely diagnosis of osteomyelitis. We present two patients with pubic pain during pregnancy, with two different diagnoses and treatment options, and a favorable outcome that was the result of a multidisciplinary approach %K Pelvic pain 每 etiology %K Osteitis 每 diagnosis %K therapy %K Osteomyelitis 每 diagnosis %K therapy %K Pregnancy complications %K infectious 每 diagnosis %K therapy %K Pubic symphysis 每 pathology %U https://hrcak.srce.hr/index.php?show=clanak&id_clanak_jezik=329621
