Bilateral chylothorax following anterior cervical spine surgery.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The antithrombotic agents are usually interrupted in fear of bleeding complications before neurosurgery. However, the optimal schematic regimen of substitutive medication to prevent thromboembolic events after surgery is unsettled. METHODS:We report five complex neurosurgical cases with high risk for thromb...
