Abstract
Early recognition and surgical intervention for SHs with neurologic compromise is key to favorable outcome. Optimal timing of surgery in patients on DOACs requires an assessment of the risk of intraoperative or postoperative bleeding, an assessment of the patient's symptom progression, as well as an understanding of the pharmacokinetics of the DOAC used and possible reversal options available. We also review all published cases of spontaneous SHs in patients on DOACs and report on their management and outcomes.
