[Modified percutaneous balloon kyphoplasty at XXXX of 11th thoracic vertebra and communication with the spinal canal. Case report and review of the literature].

This paper presents the case report of a 67-year-old @entity1 who came to our hospital suffering from severe @entity3061 of the 11th thoracic vertebral body. The @entity1 has been suffering from @entity1358 for 2 years. During a routine control the above-mentioned lesion was found by chance. A few days later @entity158 started in the thoracolumbar region. Treatment was intended to be palliative. Therefore, we looked for an option to stabilize the vertebral body as minimally invasive as possible. Because of a destroyed trailing edge of the vertebra, "normal" kyphoplasty was not possible. For this reason, we performed a modification, using one filled balloon as a kind of curtain between the vertebral body and spinal canal. With this technique we achieved an optimal filling of the destroyed vertebral body with cement, without any leakage. Two days postoperatively, the @entity1 could leave our hospital without any @entity158 symptoms.
