摘　　要：BACKGROUND Intradural cement leakage following percutaneous vertebroplasty is a rare but acute and devastating complication that usually requires emergent treatment.Here,we report a delayed complication of intradural leakage after percutaneous vertebroplasty.CASE SUMMARY A 71-year-old female patient with an L1 osteoporotic compression fracture underwent percutaneous vertebroplasty in 2014.She was referred to our hospital 5 years later due to complaints of progressive weakness and numbness in both legs combined with urinary incontinence and constipation.Initially,she was suspected to have a spinal meningioma at the level of L1 according to imaging examinations.Postoperative pathological tests confirmed that cement had leaked into the dura during the first percutaneous vertebroplasty.CONCLUSION Guideline adherence is essential to prevent cement from leaking into the spinal canal or even the dura.Once leakage occurs,urgent evaluation and decompression surgery are necessary to prevent further neurological damage.
