Summary

Oral contraceptive use may cause deep cerebral venous thrombosis. Magnetic resonance imaging aids diagnosis, and anticoagulation therapy is safe and effective for this condition.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Radiology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Cerebral venous thrombosis is a rare but serious condition.
  • Oral contraceptive pills are a potential risk factor for venous thromboembolism.

Observation:

  • A case report of a 38-year-old woman presenting with deep cerebral venous system thrombosis.
  • Thrombosis was presumed to be secondary to oral contraceptive pill use.

Findings:

  • Cerebral angiography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were utilized for diagnosis and management planning.
  • MRI is confirmed as a suitable imaging modality for diagnosing cerebral venous thrombosis and guiding treatment.
  • Anticoagulation therapy demonstrated safety and efficacy in managing the condition.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of considering oral contraceptive-induced cerebral venous thrombosis in differential diagnoses.
  • Emphasizes the role of advanced neuroimaging in timely diagnosis and treatment decisions.
  • Supports anticoagulation as a standard therapeutic approach for deep cerebral venous thrombosis, similar to superficial cases.
