Popis: We report four patients with unilateral postpartum sacroiliitis presenting with agonising unilateral pain, an elevated ESR, elevated alkaline phosphatase levels, leucocytosis and positive bone scans. The diagnosis of a non-infectious inflammatory cause was supported by the postpartum onset, the response to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, negative aspiration cultures in two cases and the lack of changes in the sacroiliac joints on long-term follow-up radiographs.
