Cerebral Sinus Vein Thrombosis Following Ovarian Hyperstimulation: A Case Report
Authors
Abstract:
Thromboembolic phenomena are the serious consequences of assisted reproductive technology. We present a case of cerebral sinus vein thrombosis (CVST) following ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome (OHSS). Ten days after recovering from OHSS, the patient presented in the emergency department with thunderclap headache. Her Magnetic Resonance Venography (MRV) showed occluded left transverse sinus and left sigmoid sinus. The patient was treated with low molecular weight heparin. She made a good recovery and was independent in activities of daily living in follow up after six months. Disturbances of the coagulation system may occur in moderate OHSS and also persist even after the clinical symptoms of OHSS have resolved.

OHSS is self‐limiting, and treatment is primarily supportive with an aim to reduce the incidence of associated complications. The complications of severe OHSS include renal failure, hypovolemic shock, venous thromboembolism, respiratory distress syndrome, and even death. A particularly severe feature of OHSS is thromboembolism, for which a prevalence of 0.78%, has been reported and which accoun...

background: sildenafil is a selective inhibitor of phosphodiesterase type 5 (pde5) which currently used for the treatment of erection dysfunction (ed). medicine approved by the fda for treatment of pulmonary hypertension. although there is no evidence of hypercoagulation states being associated with the use of pde5 inhibitors, several animal studies suggest that pde5 inhibitors may cause arteri...

Two cases of women who developed internal jugular vein (IJV) thrombosis associated with ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) are reported in this article. There are 27 cases of IJV thrombosis associated with in vitro fertilisation (IVF) reported in the literature, and in 78% of cases, this outcome was following OHSS. The hypercoagulable state of OHSS increases the risk of venous thromboembo...
