Key Words	Post-operative complication; Spinal surgery; Kyphoplasty
Core Tip	Kyphoplasty and lumbar spine fusion are rarely associated with significant vascular damage and internal bleeding. However, life-threatening complications can occur at any time during the perioperative period. Rapid diagnosis and quick action can save life and this can be achieved by the awareness of the possibility of such complications. The clinical presentation can be deceiving, especially during the perioperative period when multiple factors can mask the real problem (use of narcotic or sedative agents) and the best way to ensure rapid diagnosis is high index of suspicion and the application of imaging technology as in our cases.
