Material and Methods: The study included all consecutive patients undergoing elective Neurosurgical intervention who developed Venous Thrombo Embolism. DVT was diagnosed when thrombus was seen, flow was absent, non-compressibility encountered and when there was no augmentation. Patients were ambulated according to a strict protocol after the surgery. The patients who developed postoperative VTE were subjected to thromboprophylaxis as per the institute protocol.

Results: Among the patients with VTE, 64.85% of the patients were between 40 to 60 yr of age. In the VTE study group both males 18(48.6%) and females 19 (51.4%) were equal. In the VTE group, Hypertension was the most common co-morbid condition 6 (16.2%) followed by thyroid disorder 3 (8.1%), diabetes 2 (5.4%). The most common blood group among the study group was O+ 15 (40.54%).

Conclusion: Venous thrombo embolism in Neurosurgical patient is a cause of increased morbidity and mortality. Patients having preop and post op motor deficit, prolonged ventilator support, age group between 40 – 60 yrs, and patients within the first 1 weeks of surgery are at a high risk of developing this complication.
