Abstract
We present a case of suspected induced intractable headaches and paralysis after receiving an etonogestrel 68 mg implant. After extensive neurological evaluation, the etonogestrel implant was removed and neurological symptoms resolved.
The case raises concerns about a potential rare risk of progestin-containing contraceptives in patients with migraines with aura warranting further investigation.
