Abstract

The relationship between oral contraceptives, thrombotic events and stroke has been the focus of numerous studies, as there are millions of pill users around the world. Most of the cases described in literature are of deep venous thrombosis in the lower limbs, and thromboembolism in the pulmonary artery. This article aims to report a rare case of pulmonary vein thrombosis, along with stroke in a young patient using oral contraceptives. We seek to elucidate this relationship between the use of different oral contraceptives and the risk of thrombus formation, in addition to providing a brief review of these pathological episodes in the body. In view of the existence of few studies with reports of pulmonary venous thrombosis, It is expected to provide information to the entire medical community.
