[Etio-pathogenesis of osteitis pubis (author's transl)]. 1976

H J Eickelmann

The origination and the further development of an osteitis pubis in an 67-year-old man after the removal of an ureterolith by a Zeiss loop are described. A survey of the relevant literature shows that this is the first case of osteitis pubis after the removal of an ureterolith. The etio-pathogenetic aspects of osteitis pubis are discussed. The therapy of osteitis pubis is mentioned.
