    AbstractBlood coagulation and hemostasis issues are important aspects of patient care in acute neurosurgical patients. Coagulopathy often complicates the already difficult management of cerebrovascular and intracranial hemorrhagic disease and injuries, adding to the already high associated morbidity and mortality. Common causes of coagulopathy, as well as its management in acute neurosurgical settings, are outlined in this review. Awareness of how to promptly evaluate and effectively treat coagulopathic processes is instrumental to the success of the neurosurgeon in managing acute intracranial pathologies.
