Abstract

Although percutaneous vertebroplasty was first used in the treatment of vertebral hemangiomas, in time, it took part in the treatment of painful osteoporotic and pathological vertebral fractures. Cement embolism is a rare complication of vertebroplasty and usually remains asymptomatic; however, sometimes it may lead to fatal results. In this article, we report a 47-year-old female patient of cement embolism diagnosed by thorax computed tomography that was confused with involvement of tuberculosis due to incidentally detected high-density pulmonary opacities on plain graph. We also discussed other pathologies which should be considered in differential diagnosis when pulmonary opacities are identified.

Özet

Perkütan hemanjiyomlarının tedavisinde kullanılmış olmasına rağmen zamanla ağrılı osteoporotik ve patolojik vertebra kırıklarının tedavisinde de yer almıştır. Sement embolisi vertebroplastinin nadir bir komplikasyonu olup çoğunlukla asemptomatik seyretmekle birlikte kimi durumlarda fatal sonuçlara neden olabilmektedir. Bu yazıda direkt grafide tesadüfen saptanan pulmoner yüksek yoğunluklu opasiteler nedeni ile tüberküloz tutulumu ile karıştırılan ve toraks bilgisayarlı tomografi ile sement embolisi tanısı konulan 47 yaşında bir kadın hasta sunuldu. Ayrıca, pulmoner opasite saptandığında ayırıcı tanıda dikkate alınması gereken diğer patolojiler tartışıldı.
