Summary
Percutaneous vertebroplasty offers rapid pain relief and spinal stabilization for patients with vertebral metastasis. This minimally invasive procedure effectively treats osteolytic lesions, improving patient outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Interventional Radiology
- Oncology
- Orthopedic Surgery
Background:
- Vertebral osteolytic metastatic lesions can cause significant pain and spinal instability.
- Percutaneous vertebroplasty is a minimally invasive therapeutic procedure.
- The injection of surgical cement into vertebral lesions is a key component.
Observation:
- A 46-year-old male patient presented with osteolytic L3 vertebral metastasis originating from lung adenocarcinoma.
- The patient underwent percutaneous vertebroplasty.
- Procedures were guided by computed tomography (CT) and fluoroscopy.
Findings:
- The patient experienced definite pain relief following the procedure.
- Stabilization of the L3 vertebra was achieved.
- The treatment demonstrated immediate and long-term benefits.
Implications:
- Percutaneous vertebroplasty is an effective treatment for osteolytic vertebral metastasis.
- The procedure provides rapid pain relief and enhances spinal stability.
- This minimally invasive approach offers significant advantages for patient management.
