ABSTRACT
Oral anticoagulants are associated with several adverse skin manifestations ranging from ecchymosis, purpura, and hemorrhagic necrosis to maculopapular rash, vesicular urticarial eruptions and purple toes. Skin necrosis is a rare but serious side effect of warfarin therapy, associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The prevalence of warfarin induced skin necrosis [WISN] is 0.01-0.1%. We report a 20-year-old female patient of craniopharyngioma who developed WISN following postoperative femoropopliteal deep vein thrombosis
