Abstract
Oral contraceptives are associated with thromboembolic events. Thus, the use of oral contraceptive preparations must be questioned in young female patients who present with stroke. Cerebral arterial and venous thrombosis concurrently detected in a young female patient with only combined oral contraceptive (COC) use as a risk factor and acute mechanical thrombectomy treatment is reported in this case report. Treatment management and the relationship between COC use and coagulopathy will be discussed in this paper.
A consent form was completed by the patient.
Externally peer-reviewed.
