Epidemiology and prevention of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS): a review.
Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a rare iatrogenic complication of ovarian stimulation occurring during the luteal phase or during early pregnancy.

متن کاملPrediction of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). Estradiol level has an important role in the prediction of OHSS.
The cascade of events that leads to the development of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is almost always accompanied by elevated estradiol (E(2)) levels. The role of estrogen level in OHSS has not been confirmed; however, it was shown repeatedly in the literature that elevated levels of E(2) constitute a risk for OHSS. Monitoring E(2) was found to be effective in reducing the incidence ...

Hence, clinicians might make wrong decisions, such as laparotomy, because of suspicion of an ovarian carcinoma, or severe complications such as renal insufficiency may develop because the diagnosis and treatment of OHSS are delayed. Here we report a case of a woman in the 15th week of gestation, present...
