2 cases of mesenteric venous thrombosis in women taking oral contraceptives (48-year old gravida 5 taking norethindrone with mestranol for 10 years, a 33-year old gravida 2 taking Enovid and C-Quens since 1962 followed by norethindrone with mestranol 1 month prior to admission) were treated at the Jewish Hospital of St. Louis. Both patients had acute abdominal pain, vomiting, and bloody and diarrheal stools. In order to remove nonviable portions of the bowel which are viable at initail operation, 2 operations are necessary in the treatment of mesenteric venous thrombosis. Both of these patients underwent 2 operations and both had extensive segments of bowel removed. The post-operative courses of both patients were long (85 and 40 days respectively) and difficult. No predisposing or etiologic factor could be determined in either patient. A relationship of mesenteric venous thrombosis to oral contraceptives is suggested, but no definite causal relationship can be established.
