title: [Massive intraoperative lung embolism caused by the introduction of a telescope pin (Bailey-Dubow pin) in a child with osteogenesis imperfecta].
abstract: We report the case of a massive pulmonary embolism in a three year old boy with osteogenesis imperfecta during a closed insertion of a Bailey-Dubow-rod. An increased intramedullary pressure with consecutive entering of medullary particles or air into the blood stream due to the insertion of the Bailey-Dubow-rod is discussed as the cause of the pulmonary embolus.
