[Thromboembolism of the pulmonary arteries after the removal of meningiomas of the cerebral hemispheres].
The authors describe and analyse a grave postoperative complication in neuro-oncological patients, namely pulmonary artery thromboembolism which is almost always lethal. Predisposing factors of pulmonary artery thromboembolism and clinical manifestations of this complication are discussed. It is concluded that prophylactic measures against thromboembolism in all patients with meningiomas of the brain in the postoperative period are of importance.
