Patient with recuring back pain, after kyphoplasty at T8 and T9. There are findings related to kyphoplasty at the T8 and T9 levels, where there is marked loss of vertebral height with exaggeration of the kyphosis. There is no evidence of cement extrusion. There is also endplate deformity at L1 with approximately 40 % loss of height centrally, but no evidence of new compression fractures in the thoracic spine. There is a small disc-osteophyte complex that slightly effaces the intrathecal cerebrospinal fluid space. There is no significant spinal canal stenosis at the other levels. The spinal cord signal is unremarkable.
1. No evidence of complications related to kyphoplasty at the T8 and T9 levels, where there is marked loss of vertebral height with exaggeration of the kyphosis. 2. Unchanged chronic L1 vertebral compression fracture.
