Abstract
Radical neck dissection is one of the commonest procedures performed i n any unit dealing with head;and neck surgery. Intracranial complicati ons following this procedure are uncommon. Transverse sinus thrombosis and venous infarction of the brain following unilateral radical neck dissection have not been reported in the literature. We present a case in which this complication occurred following an uneventful radical n eck dissection.
