چکیده
BACKGROUND Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is considered to be an iatrogenic complication of ovulation induction therapy. However, OHSS may rarely be associated with spontaneous ovulatory cycles, usually in multiple or molar gestations or hypothyroidism. Clinical manifestations vary and may be potentially fatal in severe cases. CASE REPORT A 28-year-old primigravid, with no history of an infertility treatment, presented with enlarged ovaries and ascite. The patient had minor abdominal discomfort, without other complains. Ultrasound evaluation showed enlarged cystic ovaries and mild ascites. Hormonal profile revealed increased estradiol levels, with normal TSH and hCG. The patient was managed expectantly with no complications. DISCUSSION Although spontaneous OHSS is a rare entity, it is important to consider it in cases of bilateral ovarian masses in pregnancy. Three different mechanisms responsible for the occurrence of spontaneous OHSS have been described. This syndrome is thought to be secondary to promiscuity of the FSH receptor for hCG and/or TSH. It may occur with normal or increased levels of hCG and/or TSH.

Background Coasting is the most common method used in the prevention of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) acting through vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) reduction. However, the pregnancy rate is reported to fall with coasting when it takes more than three days. Recently lowdose cabergoline, a selective D2 dopamine receptor agonist has been proven to selectively reduce vascular ...
متن کاملI-31: Antihistamine & Ovarian Hyperstimulation syndrome
Background: Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a rare iatrogenic complication of ovulation stimulation. The pathogenesis of OHSS is uncertain. The crucial event appears to be an increase in capillary permeability by vasoactive mediators such as cytokine and histamine. The aim of this study is to evaluate the role of loratadine (antihistamine) in preventing ovarian hyperstimulation synd...
