Contraceptive methods have taken various shapes since their inception and the most widely used are oral contraceptive pills (OCPs). In addition to contraception, OCPs have a variety of uses in the treatment of a number of gynaecological disorders, including polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, irregular menses, menorrhagia and dysmenorrhea. Since they were first introduced, OCPs have been linked to a higher risk of intracranial haemorrhage (ICH) and stroke. We report a case where the patient irrationally took OCPs for a long period of time and presented to the emergency department in a state of altered sensorium with symptoms of vomiting and headache which are suggestive of hemorrhagic stroke.
