    Abstract:
    Venous thrombosis is a documented complication of oral contraceptives in adolescents and young women. The frequency of thrombosis increases in presence of additional risk factors as e.g. smoking and obesity. This is a case-report of a mesenterial vein thrombosis in a 24 years old woman on low estrogen dose triphasic oral contraceptives combined with smoking and obesity. Wide jejunal haemorrhagic infarction with acute abdomen and volume deficiency shock conducted to diagnosis finally by emergency laparotomy. Wide resection of jejune was required.
