INTRODUCTION: Pedicle screws are durable and safe instruments frequently used to treat vertebra injuries and deformities. There is also a possibility of medulla spinalis and visceral organ injury when the pedicle screws are delivered in unsuitable positions or dimensions. In this case, the authors want to draw attention to one of the visceral organ injuries during the thoracic pedicle screw placement.
