Diagnosis of pulmonary cement embolism using only the bone window setting on computed tomography: a case report
Pulmonary cement embolism (PCE) is one of several complications of percutaneous vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty. Generally, PCE can be easily diagnosed based on typical chest radiograph findings such as single or multiple radiographically dense opacities with a tubular or branch shape in the lung fie...

description | Pulmonary cement embolism (PCE) is one of several complications of percutaneous vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty. Generally, PCE can be easily diagnosed based on typical chest radiograph findings such as single or multiple radiographically dense opacities with a tubular or branch shape in the lung field along with a recent history of percutaneous vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty. These findings can be alarming and may be encountered on routine chest radiographs, even in asymptomatic patients. One study showed that PCEs that were not visualized on chest radiograph were also not shown on chest computed tomography. However, we encountered a patient with dyspnea who had normal chest radiograph findings but was diagnosed with PCE through only the bone window setting on chest computed tomography. The present case will be beneficial to all physicians examining older patients with dyspnea. |
