| Popis: | Background Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PV) is a minimally invasive procedure that requires the injection of cement into a fractured vertebral body. Spine Jack® is a vertebroplasty system with an intracorporal implant designed to restore the height of the vertebral body in osteoporotic vertebral fractures. There are no reported cases of PV with Spine Jack® system as treatment for multilevel compression fractures in patients with vertebral osteoporosis due to Cushing disease. Case presentation A 55‐year‐old man with lumbago, impaired deambulation 6 weeks prior to presentation, with Oswestry score of 72% and a visual analogue scale (VAS) score of 9 points. Imaging studies showed osteoporotic fractures at T5, T8, T11, T12, and L1‐L5 vertebrae secondary to Cushing disease. PV was performed with a Spine Jack® intracorporal implant device, in three sessions, and multiple levels were operated at each intervention. Post‐operative course demonstrated improvement of pain, height, correction of the kyphotic angle and Oswestry score, without any neurological deficits despite having nine vertebral fractures. Conclusion Percutaneous vertebroplasty with the Spine Jack® system is a safe and effective procedure to treat multilevel vertebral fractures due to Cushing disease, improving the quality of life and allowing the patient to remain pain‐free while avoiding major surgery.
