| description | Osteoporotic vertebral fractures are common among the geriatric population and are managed by vertebral augmentation procedures. Pulmonary cement embolism is a relatively rare complication of these procedures and can range from mild, transient respiratory sequelae to a more severe pulmonary infarction. We discuss the case of a 75-year-old woman, identified with osteoporotic thoracolumbar vertebral fractures, found to have pulmonary cement embolism four days following multi-level balloon kyphoplasty. We attempt to highlight, pulmonary cement embolism as a potential complication following a vertebral augmentation procedure and that systematic pulmonary imaging after surgery may be helpful to facilitate its detection and further management. |
