Özet

Objective: Symphysis pubis diastasis is an uncommon peripartum complication that might result in a serious distress to the patient. With pregnancy, the gap increases by at least 2 to 3 mm, which is thought to be caused by the slackness of ligaments supporting the joint. The diagnosis of diastasis is based on the persistence of symptoms and a symphysis pubis separation of more than 10 to 13 mm on imaging.
