The ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is often observed in patients undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART). In severe form OHSS is a serious and potentially life-threatening. Here we report a 36-year-old woman with primary infertility due to endometriosis who underwent controlled ovarian hyperstimulation. Ten days later, severe late-onset ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, sev...

In a prospective randomized study, we analysed 125 patients at risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), selected in the period between January 1996 and July 1997. All the patients had blood oestradiol concentration >/=1500 pg/ml on the day of human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) administration and >/=15 oocytes were collected. The patients were matched in two groups: group A, control gr...

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...

BACKGROUND Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is an iatrogenic and potentially life threatening condition resulting from excessive ovarian stimulation. Reported incidence varies from 1% to 10% of in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles. The factors contributing to OHSS have not been completely explained. The release of vasoactive substances secreted by the ovaries under human chorionic gonado...

ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (ohss) is a unique iatrogenic complication of controlled ovarian stimulation (coh)/in vitro fertilization (ivf) in reproductive endocrinology occurring during the luteal phase or early pregnancy. it can have a serious impact on the patient�s health. with the expansion of the assisted reproductive techniques (art) from 1978, the incidence of ohss is increasing w...

AIM We intended to establish the threshold of Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) for detection of Ovarian Hyper-Stimulation Syndrome (OHSS) and poor response to treatment in Iranian infertile women. METHODS Pre-stimulation menstrual cycle day-3 hormonal indices including basal AMH values were measured in 105 infertile women aged 32.5 ± 4.3 years. Patients underwent long GnRH agonist Controlled Ovar...

STUDY QUESTION Is severe early ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) completely prevented with the GnRH agonist trigger and 1500 IU hCG luteal rescue protocol? SUMMARY ANSWER Severe early OHSS can occur even after the GnRH agonist trigger and 1500 IU hCG luteal rescue protocol. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY Prior studies including over 200 women who received the GnRH agonist trigger and 1500 hCG...

BACKGROUND To report a case of severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) with right pleural effusion following controlled ovarian hyperstimulation. CASE PRESENTATION A 24-year-old woman had severe OHSS as a complication of gonadotropin stimulation. The clinical picture showed enlarged ovaries, massive ascites, pleural effusion, abdominal pain, and dyspnea. Beside the medical treatment, ...

The objective of this study was to define the incidence of febrile morbidity and its causes in severe and critical ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). For this purpose, we reviewed the medical records of all OHSS patients hospitalized in 16 out of 19 tertiary medical centres in Israel between January 1987 and December 1996. Febrile morbidity was defined as at least one episode of temperat...
