Background Context. Vertebroplasty is a minimally invasive procedure most commonly used for the treatment of vertebral compression fractures. Although it is relatively safe, complications have been reported over time. Among those complications, massive cement pulmonary embolism is considered a rare complication. Here we report a case of massive diffuse cement pulmonary embolism following percutaneous vertebroplasty for a vertebral compression fracture.Study Design. Case report.Methods. This is a 70-year-old female who underwent vertebroplasty for T11 and T12 vertebral compression fracture.Results. CT-scan revealed an incidental finding of cement embolism in the pulmonary trunk and both pulmonary arteries. Since the patient was asymptomatic, she was monitored closely and she did not need any intervention.Conclusion. Vertebroplasty is a minimally invasive procedure used for treatment of vertebral compression fracture. Despite the low rate of complications, a pulmonary cement embolism can occur. The consequences of cement embolism range widely from being asymptomatic to embolism that can cause paralysis, radiculopathy, or a fatal pulmonary embolism.

Spontaneous Haemorrhage

Renal angiomyolipomas (AML) are benign lesions usually left alone. However, lesions larger than 4 cm carry the risk of spontaneous haemorrhage and need treatment. Angiography and embolisation are the current standard of care particularly in patients with high operative risks. Angio-embolisation is a safe, minimally invasive procedure preserving maximum renal parenchyma, with the added advantage of preventing peri-procedural morbidity. Two cases of AML are presented in this case series. Key words: Angiomyolipoma, embolisation, renal

BACKGROUND: Vertebral compression fracture usually occurs in old age population with osteoporosis. Due to severity of pain, quality of life becomes very poor. During the study period 67 patients fullling the eligibility cri METHODS: teria underwent vertebroplasty/ kyphoplasty/ cement augmented screw xation/ hybrid procedures were included. Short term and long term benets /side effects were evaluated in all patients. Patients were evaluated on visual analogue score and modied ranking scale. RESULTS: Vertebroplasty was performed in 26(38.8%) whereas kyphoplasty, cement augmented screw xation and hybrid procedure were performed in 18(26.8%), 17(25.4%) and 6(9.0%) respectively. Signicant pain relief occurred in all patients which were evaluated by Visual Analogue Scale. Quality of life also improved which was evaluated with Modied Rankin Scale. In our study, complications which occurred were local cement leak, hematoma formation, infection in 8 (11.9%), 3(4.5%) and 2(3.0%) patients respectively. Use of biological cement has revolutionized CONCLUSION: the management of vertebral compression fracture. Both vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty procedures which are minimal invasive, almost cure the non infective pathological fractures with instant pain relief and very low procedure related morbidity. In cases requiring xation, cement augmentation signicantly improves the purchase of the screw and makes the construct more reliable. Hybrid technique helps to prevent extensive long level xation.
