title: [Thromboembolism in neurosurgery].
abstract: This paper reviews the epidemiology and the physiopathology of lower extremity deep vein thrombosis in neurosurgical patients as described in the literature. Prophylaxis of thromboembolism in the neurosurgical patients remains a difficult problem as anticoagulant treatment increases the inherent risk of hemorrhage into the operative site.
