Sivakumar et al. report a case of a man who presented with delayed, recurrent [[intracranial hemorrhage]] months after successful deep brain stimulator placement for Parkinson disease while on edoxaban for atrial fibrillation. Further reports on the use of novel anticoagulants after intracranial surgery are acutely needed to help assess the true relative risk they pose
