Abstract
This preliminary report on the use of 123I-fibrinogen and Doppler ultrasound techniques for the diagnosis of postoperative deep vein thrombosis (DVT), shows that neurosurgical patients are at considerable risk. The DVT was often asymptomatic, bilateral, and extended into the more proximal veins.Keywords
