ABSTRACT

Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) is a minimally invasive and useful method for controlling the pain in patients with vertebral compression fractures. The migration of cement to the vena cava inferior following Polymethylmetacrylate (PMMA) leakage after the PVP operation is presented in this case. Control by a CT imaging should be performed although she was asymptomatic, and the necessary premedication was ensured in terms of embolism by demonstrating invasion to the VCI.
