Percutaneous Vertebroplasty

Percutaneous Vertebroplasty is a minimally invasive procedure initially developed to treat aggressive hemangiomas, which was then further extended to vertebral tumors - especially aggressive osteolytic metastasis and myeloma - and is currently largely applied in osteoporotic compression fractures that are refractory to medical therapy. In this article we formulate and answer questions reviewing the current technique, its indications and potential complications. This paper summarizes the experience of the Department of Neurosurgery at Hospital Santa Cruz in Curitiba (PR) and aims at providing a source of reference to neurosurgeons interested in this procedure.

Osteoporotic Compression Fractures

Abstract PERCUTANEOUS VERTEBROPLASTY WAS developed in France by Deramond et al., who provided initial reports of the procedure in 1987. This minimally invasive procedure uses a large-bore bone-cutting needle to percutaneously access a vertebral body, inject bone cement, and thereby stabilize and reinforce the remaining bone structure. The procedure was used initially to treat aggressive hemangiomas, but it then was extended to the treatment of osteolytic metastases and myeloma and currently osteoporotic compression fractures refractory to medical therapy. In this article, we review the current technique and its indications along with emerging devices and areas of current research.

Osteoporotic Compression Fractures

Background Context. Cement leakage is not a rare complication of vertebroplasty, but ascending tonic clonic seizure syndrome is exceptionally rare. We herein report the first case to our knowledge of this complication related to vertebroplasty.Purpose. We herein report the first case of ascending tonic clonic seizure syndrome following epidural cement leakage after percutaneous vertebroplasty in a patient with multiple osteoporotic compression fractures.Study Design. Case report.Methods. A 64-year-old woman with T8, T10, L2, and L4 osteoporotic compression fractures underwent percutaneous vertebroplasty using polymethylmethacrylate. 40 minutes after the procedure the patient started suffering back and leg pain, having repetitive myoclonic jerks lasting 15 seconds of the lower extremities, spasm of the back, dyspnea, sinus tachycardia, hypoxemia, and metabolic acidosis.Results. The patient recovered completely due to a combination of early effective resuscitation and considered definitive management.Conclusions. Percutaneous vertebroplasty with polymethylmethacrylate is relatively safe but has few dangerous complications, which should be prevented by a meticulous technique and excellent image quality.
