N2 - Vertebroplasty consists of percutaneous injection of acrylic cement--polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA)--into a partially collapsed vertebral body in order to obtain pain relief and augment mechanical stability of the vertebral body. Although vertebroplasty is an efficient treatment it is not free of complications. Our present case report describes a woman with pulmonary polymethylmethacrylate embolism during percutaneous vertebroplasty who presented with hypotension, arrhythmia and hypocapnia.
