[Splenic artery thrombosis with Adepal. Pathogenic role of anti-ethinylestradiol antibody?].
We report a case of splenic artery thrombosis developed in a 54-year old woman after prolonged use of oral contraceptives. The diagnosis of the disease, difficult on clinical grounds, was confirmed by computerized tomography and selective arteriography. The presence of anti-ethinyloestradiol antibodies in the serum is suspected to be a risk factor for thrombosis associated with oral contraception.
