Abstract

Vertebroplasty is a minimally invasive method for thetreatment of painful vertebrae fractures. Cementembolism, as a rare complication of this method, isusually asymptomatic and does not require treatment.Anticoagulant therapy or surgical embolectomy isrecommended when symptomatic. We present here acase of pulmonary cement embolism who presentedwith chest pain and shortness of breath 5 days aftervertebroplasty for a thoracic vertebrae fracture, andwho had undergone anticoagulant treatment.

Özet

Vertebroplasti ağrılı vertebra kırıklarının tedavisinde kullanılan minimal invaziv bir yöntemdir. Bu yöntemin nadir bir komplikasyonu olan sement embolisi genellikle asemptomatik seyreder ve tedavi gerektirmez. Semptomatik olduğu durumlarda ise antikoagulan tedavi veya cerrahi embolektomi uygulanması önerilmektedir. Travmaya sekonder torakal 12 vertebra fraktürü için vertebroplasti uygulandıktan 5 gün sonra göğüs ağrısı ve nefes darlığı ile başvuran ve antikoagulan tedavi verdiğimiz semente bağlı pulmoner emboli olgusunu sunmak istedik.
