Transient osteoporosis of pregnancy (TOP) is a medical condition, self-limited, infrequent, occurring in women in the third trimester of pregnancy or immediate postpartum, usually affecting the joints of the lower limb, specially the hip joint, typically resolving within a few months after delivery. Radiographic studies describe loss of bone mass and edema in affected portion. We describe 2 cases of primigravid women, twin gestation with hip pain during the third trimester, who were diagnosed TOP by magnetic resonance. These women had a good clinical and analytical response to the instituted measures with a complete return to daily activities months after delivery.
