Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) is a common procedure, but cement leaks are not uncommon. Leakages do not always have consequences, but rarely complications do occur. Spinal subdural hematomas (sSDHs) are rare and even rarer presented as a complication after PVP. The best management for sSDH is, therefore, difficult to decide.
