  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

The overall incidence of pulmonary embolism (PE) among neurosurgical in-patients, whose ages ranged from 23 to 80, was 0.7%.

Our report here is based on five cases of patients with PE. Four of these five patients were over 50 years of age. They had been admitted because of such reasons as brain tumor, spinal cord injury, intracerebral hematoma, and venous sinus thrombosis. Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) was seen in four but none were di-agnosed before they had developed PE. Decreased level of consciousness and prolonged bed rest appeared to be common risk factors for PE. Mean duration between admission and onset of PE was 31 clays.
