A case series of pregnancy- and lactation-associated?osteoporosis?and a review of the literature

摘要

The syndrome of?pregnancy- and lactation-associated?osteoporosis is a rare disorder whose precise etiology and treatment are largely unknown. We herein report two such cases occurring in the early?postpartum?period that led to multiple fragility compression fractures. Combination therapy of vitamin D and vitamin K enabled a marked gradual increase in bone mineral density.
