    Author: Pendl G, Jellinger K, Kletter G.
    Journal: Verh Dtsch Ges Pathol; 1972; 56():413-7. PubMed ID: 4130858.
    Abstract:
    Clinical signs of cerebrovascular accidents during oral contraception in 27 patients and autopsy findings in 2 patients are reported. Hemiparesis or hemiplegia was the most common symptom (10 cases); others include migraine, vision disorders, loss of consciousness, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and (fatally) sinus thrombosis and occlusions of the medial artery. Autopsy findings included fresh thromboses, infarctions in the gyrus hippocampi and the gyrus fusiformis, and massive enlargement of the right hemisphere (1 case). The mechanism of thrombus formation and predisposing risk factors are discussed.
