Two patients on oral contraceptives who developed massive colonic bleeding have been presented. The clinical course and various studies suggest the mesenteric insufficiency syndrome as being a possible result of oral contraceptive effect on mesenteric vasculature. Although no definite histologic confirmation is available, the onset, course, and follow-up of these patients suggest contraceptive-induced massive colonic bleeding. The spectrum of oral contraceptive-induced colonic bleeding may vary from mucosal injury with massive colonic bleeding to transmural infarction. Only the clinical follow-up would determine the severity of the involvement and that would determine whether surgical intervention will be necessary. |
