Osteoporosis is a worldwide problem and it mainly affects postmenopausal women. 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. We experienced this uncommon case, treated it with percutaneous vertebroplasty. A 35-old-woman visited our hospital with complaints of severe back pain and flank pain 2 months after normal vaginal delivery. She was diagnosed with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures on the T5, 8, 9 and 11 vertebral bodies and we performed percutaneous vertebroplasty on the T8, 9 and 11 vertebrae with a good result. We present here an unusual case of pregnancy-associated compression fractures treated by percutaneous vertebroplasty.
骨质疏松症是一个全球性问题，主要影响绝经后女性。与妊娠或哺乳期相关的骨质疏松症是一种罕见病症。这种现象的发病率和机制尚未明确，但它可导致受影响女性出现一个或多个椎体压缩性骨折，并伴有严重且持续时间长的背痛。我们遇到了这一罕见病例，并通过经皮椎体成形术对其进行了治疗。一名35岁女性在正常阴道分娩后2个月因严重背痛和侧腹痛前来我院就诊。她被诊断为T5、8、9和11椎体的骨质疏松性椎体压缩性骨折，我们对T8、9和11椎体实施了经皮椎体成形术，效果良好。在此，我们展示一例经皮椎体成形术治疗的与妊娠相关的压缩性骨折的罕见病例。
