Acute Paraparesis Caused by Spinal Epidural Fluid After Balloon Kyphoplasty for Traumatic Avascular Necrosis: A Case Report.

Minimally invasive procedures, such as percutaneous vertebroplasty or balloon kyphoplasty (BK), eliminate motion at the fracture site and relieve pain associated with traumatic avascular necrosis when conservative treatment fails. However, these are associated with complications, most of which are directly related to cement leakage. Herein, we report a rare case of acute paraparesis caused by spinal cord compression by epidural fluid following BK for the treatment of Kummell's disease in the absence of cement leakage. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report describing this complication.
