Cement leakage into the posterior spinal canal during balloon kyphoplasty: a case report.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a case of cement leakage into the posterior spinal canal due to inadvertent pedicle perforation during balloon kyphoplasty. The leakage was corrected immediately without any sequelae. Features seen on radiography and the minimally invasive procedure used for removal are described. The postoperative radiographs of 100 consecutive patients treated with balloon kyphoplasty were subsequently reviewed. Only one patient had a similar leakage but had no neurological complications.

Kyphoplasty is advantageous over vertebroplasty in terms of better kyphosis correction and diminished risk of cement extravasations. Literature described cement leakage causing neurological injury mainly after vertebroplasty procedure; only a few case reports show cement leakage with kyphoplasty without neurological injury or proper cause of leakage. We present a report two cases of osteoporoti...

STUDY DESIGN Prospective, single-center 2-year study. OBJECTIVE The long-term clinical performance of a new cement-directing kyphoplasty system was evaluated for treatment of painful osteoporotic compression fractures. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Cement leakage is a common clinical complication of vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty procedures. Balloon kyphoplasty restricts cement flow and reduce...

Study Design A biomechanical and radiographic study using vertebral analogues. Objectives Kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty are widely used techniques to alleviate pain in fractures secondary to osteoporosis. However, cement leakage toward vital structures like the spinal cord can be a major source of morbidity and even mortality. We define safe cement injection as the volume of the cement injecte...

STUDY DESIGN We retrospectively assessed the results of percutaneous balloon kyphoplasty (KP) by clinical and radiological methods. PURPOSE To evaluate the outcome of KP as a treatment for osteoporotic burst fractures. OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE Many surgeons are concerned about the possibility of neurological complications after percutaneous kyphoplasty for osteoporotic burst fractures, second...
متن کاملKyphoplasty for the treatment of vertebral compression fractures in a cancer patient with neurological deficits and anterior vertebral wall destruction.
BACKGROUND Percutaneous balloon kyphoplasty is an effective, minimally invasive procedure that is used to relieve pain and stabilize spine fractures caused by severe osteoporosis or osteolysis due to tumor metastasis. However, there remains a risk of bone cement leakage during and after kyphoplasty, especially in cases with severe vertebral wall destruction or neurological deficits. OBJECTIVE...
