Intracranial venous thrombosis complicating oral contraception: treatment by anticoagulant drugs.
The first suggestion that oral contraception might be responsible for cerebral vascular disease was made by Lorentz (1962), when he described the case of a young woman who had been taking the contraceptive pill norethynodrel (Enavid) and had developed a left parietal vascular lesion.

متن کاملOral contraceptives, venous thrombosis, and varicose veins. Royal College of General Practitioners' Oral Contraception Study.

Rates in each contraceptive category (users, ex-users, and controls) were indirectly standardized for age, parity, cigarette consumption, and social c...

This is a case study of a 34-year-old woman who was admitted to hospital with a history of severe orthostatic headache. She was diagnosed as having spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) by undetectable cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure at lumbar puncture, and with evidence of diffuse dural enhancement of the brain detected by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, the contrast-enhance...

These complications may occur more frequently if these patients have concomitant cancer. This prospective follow-up study sought to determine whether in thrombosis patients those with cancer have a higher risk for recurrent venous thromboembo...
