Transient osteoporosis of the hip is a rare clinical disorder of unknown etiology, characterized by hip pain and functional disability that resolves spontaneously in 6-24 months. Despite a benign prognosis, the long clinical course causes prolonged disability. We report on a case of transient osteoporosis of the hip during pregnancy that was rapidly resolved with the use of calcitonin. An accurate diagnosis was made 2 months after the onset of symptoms (4 weeks postpartum) based on findings in the form of bone marrow edema of the right hip by magnetic resonance imaging. The patient received calcitonin for 8 weeks and the beneficial effect was observed after 3 weeks of therapy with full resolution of symptoms after 8 weeks of therapy (4 months after onset of symptoms). We suggest that the use of calcitonin may be considered as a therapeutic intervention to shorten the disease duration.

D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.

D002116 Calcitonin A peptide hormone that lowers calcium concentration in the blood. In humans, it is released by thyroid cells and acts to decrease the formation and absorptive activity of osteoclasts. Its role in regulating plasma calcium is much greater in children and in certain diseases than in normal adults.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
