[Cerebral ischemia and synthetic estrogens. The role of immunologic mechanisms. Apropos of 2 cases].
The authors report 2 cases of stroke in 2 young women using oral contraception with production of anti-ethinyl-oestradiol antibodies. From literature, they recall the mechanisms of production of theses antibodies, their frequence in women with and without stroke and the different hypothesis lied to their pathogen action.
