    Abstract:
    Two observations of cerebral circulation disturbances developed by young women who used contraceptives are described. In one of them thrombosis of the median cerebral artery was diagnosed angiographically. In the other woman thromboses of the dural veins were revealed on autopsy. The pathogenesis of the arterial and venous cerebral circulation disturbances in women using contraceptives is discussed. The role of some additional risk factors, such as, obesity and smoking, is stressed.
