| Abstract

Consumption of oral contraceptive pills (OCP) is a known risk factor cerebral venus and sinus thrombosis (CVST) among women. we determined whether misuse of OCP could increase the risk of CVST in women. a case- control study was conducted from 2003 to 2007 on 64 female patients with CVST admitted to AL- zahra medical center and 232 healthy age- matched female OCP users as controls. patients and controls were interviewed and misuse of OCP was categorized to taking OCP for self- treatment of dysfunctional uterine bleeding, for family planning without physician consult, or for delaying menstruation in purpose of religious customs or traveling, and taking OCP in high dose during the preceding year. among 64 cased and 232 controls, 30 and 63 had a history of OCP misuse. also , using cyproterone compound was more frequent in the CVST group. mltivariate analysis controlling for age, OCP misuse, type of OCP, and history of coagulopathy showed that OCP misus and using diane as the OCP were both independently associated with CVST. OCP misuse can be considered as an additional predisposing factor for CVST among women and partly responsible for larger proportion of female patients with CVST. these finding should alarm the health care system to creae strategies contorolling the inappropriate use of OCP among iranian women..
