A series of observations, covering a period of an entire year, were made in a case of acute Otto pelvis in a girl of eighteen. Roentgenograms demonstrated the onset and rapid development of the acetabular protrusion. Pathological data pointed to a Neisserian origin. The process subsided when ankylosis ensued.
