Abstract
- 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.
