Abstract
Schmorl node is commonly presented as an accidental finding, but it can also be the source of a chronic back pain. In some cases, persistent back pain due to Schmorl node may need surgical treatment. In this report, we present a patient with persistent back pain refractory to conservative measures caused by Schmorl node following a vertebral compression fracture, which was surgically treated with a minimally-invasive procedure in the form of kyphoplasty balloon-assisted vertebroplasty.
