Abstract
Fifty acute SCI patients are reviewed retrospectively for incidence of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism and the problems encountered in the diagnosis. The possible role of some risk factors in triggering thromboembolism and the consequent implications in anticoagulant therapy are discussed.Keywords
