Journal Title: Journal of Turkish Spinal Surgery - Year 2011, Vol 22, Issue 1
Abstract
Background Data: Osteoporosis associated with pregnancy or lactation is a rare condition. The incidence and mechanism of this phenomenon has not been clarified, but it can cause one or more vertebral compression fractures with severe, prolonged back pain in the affected women. Purpose: Presentation of a case with severe pregnancy-induced osteoporosis was diagnosed with osteoporotic acute vertebral compression fractures treated by percutaneous kyphoplasty. Case report: A 28 year-old woman was complaining of severe back pain which was present during 3.trimester of her pregnancy and exacerbated during lactation. In radiological examination, pregnancy-induced acute L2 and L3 compression fracture was diagnosed and treated by percutaneous kyphoplasty. Conclusion: Acute compression fracture of vertebra due to pregnancy-induced osteoporosis should be considered in patients having intractable and severe back pain especially in 3.trimester of pregnancy and lactation period. Percutaneous kyphoplasty is an effective and safe procedure in these patients.
