Pulmonary cement embolism (PCE) is a known complication that can occur in the setting of vertebroplasty. The majority of these cases are asymptomatic and found incidentally on imaging. There are no current management recommendations regarding PCE. We present a case of a patient who underwent vertebroplasty complicated by a symptomatic sub-massive PCE.
