Abstract

For one case of thrombosis of sinus sagittalis superior joint haemorrhagic cerebral softening necessitates surgical draining of haemorrhagic focus grown to a true intracranial haematoma; for the another case direct low molecular weight heparin treatment obtained a mere evolution. Authors are of the opinion that early low molecular weight heparin treatment is able to avoid massive haemorrhage.
