ABSTRACT
In patients with traumatic brain injury, coagulation disorders may both cause bleeding and thrombosis. The addition of risk factors, including invasive devices, probably increases the risk of complications. The benefit of using intravascular cooling device should be balanced by the risk to generate thrombosis. The use of routine ultrasound was associated with an incidental diagnosis of thrombus, accelerating the onset of curative anticoagulation.
