AB A  60-year-old  white  woman  with  a  history  of  Crohn  disease,  factor  V  Leiden  thrombophilia,  and  significant  vascular  and  thrombotic  disease  in  her  left  leg  presents  with  headache.  She  has  been  maintained  on  80  mg  of  Lovenox  bid  for  years  without  a  new  thrombotic  complication.  One  week  prior  to  the  admission,  she  fell  and  had  minor  head  trauma.  For  the  ensuing  3  days,  she  had  headache,  and  on  the  fourth  day  she  developed  severe  nausea  and  projectile  vomiting.  A  noncontrast  computed  tomography  (CT)  scan  of  her  brain  showed  acute  hemorrhage  in  the  right  cerebellar  hemisphere  with  minimal  mass  effect.
