Özet
Background: Bone cement is an uncommon cause of foreign-body pulmonary em-bolism. Case Presentation: A 65-year-old woman with wheeze presented with multiple linear opacities with bone density on chest x-ray. She reported percutaneous vertebroplasty 4 months prior. Non--contrast chest computerized tomography showed peripheral cement emboli in the pulmonary ar-teries. The patient received conservative treatment. Conclusion: Clinicians should be aware of this potential complication following vertebroplasty. It is necessary to perform a chest x-ray after the procedure.
