ABSTRACT
Pulmonary embolism is a rare complication after percutaneous vertebroplasty for compression fracture. Embolization is related to cement leakage outside the treated vertebral body into the adjacent venous system. We report on a case of pulmonary embolism with bone cement in the right pulmonary artery in a 75-year-old female who had undergone percutaneous vertebroplasty 2 months before. Her simple X-ray of the spine captured polymethyl metacrylate leakage from the vertebral body, which indicated the pathophysiology of this event.
