Abstract
ABSTRACT Use of combined oral contraceptive pill (COC) is associated with a three fold increase in venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk compared to nonuse.1 The absolute risk for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in younger women without risk factor for VTE is extremely low. We report here a case of thrombosis of both deep and superficial venous system following use of second generation COC for just 2 months. How to cite this article Malhotra J, Garg R, Agrawal P.
