  • Title: Cryptogenic cerebral embolism in women taking oral contraceptives.
    Author: Enzell K, Lindemalm G.
    Journal: Br Med J; 1973 Dec 01; 4(5891):507-12. PubMed ID: 4758486.
    Abstract:
    Fourteen women taking oral contraceptives were admitted during a five-year period because of acute cerebrovascular lesions. A diagnosis of major cerebral embolism was established in four of them. No source of embolism was found, and thorough investigation failed to reveal any predisposing illness. Cerebral embolism was a probable diagnosis in several of the remaining 10 patients. A comparison was made with the strokes occurring in women not taking contraceptive pills in corresponding age groups.
