Contraception (birth control) is a regimen of one or more actions, devices, or medications followed in order to deliberately prevent or reduce the likelihood of a woman becoming pregnant or giving birth. Therefore contraception is the utilization of various and sundry surgical procedures, devices, practices, agents, or drugs with the intention of preventing conception or impregnation (pregnancy). Methods and intentions typically termed birth control may be considered a pivotal ingredient to family planning. Birth control is a controversial political and ethical issue in many cultures and religions, and although it is generally less controversial than abortion specifically.

ABSTRACT

A 19-year old woman with a migraine who had been taking oral contraceptives (OCs) had transient right hemiparesis

due to a minor lesion in the left hemisphere, probably hemorrhagic rather than ischemic. On the left side,

angiography showed nearly complete obstruction of the terminal portion of the internal carotid artery, extending to the

initial portion of its terminal branches with an outlined "Moya-Moya" network. On the right side, moderate annular

stenosis of the cervical portion of the internal carotid was visible. On subsequent angiographies, done 7 and 19

months later, blood flow was reestablished in the left internal carotid artery as well as in its terminal branches, but

with persistent segmental stenosis. Since the stroke, the symptomatology of migrainous attacks has been altered,

pointing to a left hemispheric spreading. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT5T 2049-06)
