Potential Link between Long-Term Oral Contraceptive Use and the Concurrent Development of Budd-Chiari Syndrome and Peliosis Hepatis

Oral contraceptives are widely used for birth control, but their potential hepatic side effects remain a concern. This article presents a rare case of a 45-year-old woman, mother of four, who developed both Budd-Chiari syndrome and peliosis hepatis, with no other identifiable risk factors, after long-term oral contraceptive use. The case highlights the importance of careful monitoring of patients on prolonged hormonal contraception and the need for increased awareness of its potential hepatotoxic effects.
