Abstract

Percutaneous vertebroplasty is used to treat vertebral hemangioma, osteoporotic fractures, osteolytic metastases, and myeloma. The procedure is widely performed in Taiwan and universally but not free of complication. Intrathecal cement leakage is a rare and serious complication and can be prevented. We report a case of vertebroplasty-induced intrathecal leakage of bone cement and review the literature.
