Occlusive retinal arteriolitis with neovascularization.

A 34-year-old white woman who had used oral contraceptives for six years showed an occlusive bilateral retinal arteriolitis that resulted in a branch arteriolar occlusion in the right eye and retinal neovascularization. Three years later, we observed active arteriolitis in the left eye with successive occlusion of several branch arterioles. The disease has shown spontaneous remissions and exacerbations. An extensive medical evaluation revealed only old pulmonary granulomatous disease and an elevated sedimentation rate in association with exacerbations of the arteriolitis.

Effects of oral contraceptives on lipoprotein triglyceride and cholesterol: relationships to estrogen and progestin potency.

Hormone formulation and estrogen/progestin potency were evaluated in relation to triglyceride and cholesterol concentrations in total plasma and lipoprotein fractions and in relation to lipid composition among a random sample of female telephone company personnel. Triglyceride concentrations in whole plasma, very low-density lipoprotein, and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) were elevated in response to increasing estrogen potency as were triglyceride concentrations in low-density lipoprotein (LDL). LDL cholesterol rose with increasing estrogen potency in contraceptive users but was slightly lower in postmenopausal estrogen-treated women. Plasma HDL cholesterol varied according to estrogen and progestin levels. The LDL cholesterol/triglyceride ratio was reduced for all combination oral contraceptives examined. Sequential oral contraceptives of postmenopausal estrogens did not significantly alter the cholesterol/triglyceride ratio in any lipoprotein fraction. Potential arteriosclerotic risk from sex hormone use may vary among oral contraceptive formulations.
