  • Title: Magnetic resonance imaging of cerebral venous thrombosis secondary to "low-dose" birth control pills.
    Author: Granato DB, Archer CR, Awwad EE.
    Journal: Clin Imaging; 1989 Sep; 13(3):220-4. PubMed ID: 2819587.
    Abstract:
    The clinical and radiographic features of cerebral deep venous thrombosis in a 21-year-old white woman are presented. This nulliparous patient presented with relatively mild clinical symptoms and progressing mental status changes. The only known risk factor was "low-dose" oral contraceptive pills. The magnetic resonance image (MRI) showed increased signal intensity from the internal cerebral veins, vein of Galen, and straight sinus. The diagnosis was confirmed by arterial angiography.
