AB  - Summary: We report a rare complication of autopsy-proven fat and bone marrow embolization following percutaneous vertebroplasty in a patient who had no evidence of cement leakage. Cement injection was done during one patient encounter, covering 3 vertebral levels by using a unipedicular approach. Patients may have complications even without polymethylmethacrylate leakage.
