ABSTRACT
The authors present the case of an 80-year-old female with myelodysplastic syndrome treated with chemotherapy and apixaban, a direct oral anticoagulant who suffered an intracranial hemorrhage. She presented to the emergency department with altered mental status and was found to have a large intraparenchymal hematoma with a significant mass effect. Our patient was given FEIBA (Factor Eight Inhibitor Bypass Activity) to reverse the hemorrhage. Anticoagulant-related bleeding reversal strategies are discussed.
