CONTEXT Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)-secreting pituitary adenoma is usually a nonfunctioning tumor, but in rare cases it may develop into ovarian hyperstimulation. Several reports have revealed that serum FSH levels are normal to slightly high in patients with combined FSH-secreting pituitary adenoma with ovarian hyperstimulation. This finding is different from iatrogenic ovarian hypersti...

Ovarian mutilating surgery is not an option in the management of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), except in cases with evident tissue necrosis after torsion. When severe OHSS occurs, preservation of fertility must be the target. Therefore, conservative management should be the only feasible approach, as recommended in literature worldwide. Individualization of controlled ovarian hypers...

HMG-hCG therapy was performed on 109 patients who had previously received various forms of treatment but had failed to ovulate or become pregnant. From among the 109 patients, 80 (73.4%) succeeded in ovulation and 37 (33.9%) became pregnant. Ten patients with high FSH and low estrogen levels before the therapy failed to ovulate and were believed to have amenorrhea of ovarian origin. This indica...

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 an...

abstract background: in order to evaluate the role ofketoconazole in the prevention of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (ohss) in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos) undergoing ovarian stimulation with gonadotropins, a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled study was done on one-hundred and nine pcos women that had been refeited to be treated by gonadotropins. method...

Many protocols have been proposed to improve IVF outcomes for poor ovarian responders. The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between age, ovarian hyperstimulation protocol and IVF/ICSI outcomes in poor ovarian responder (POR) according to the Bologna criteria, and to compare the efficacy of different protocols used in PORs undergoing IVF/ICSI. We retrospectively analyzed clinica...

Infertility treatment has been changed dramatically over the last decades with the introduction of the new assisted reproduction techniques (ART). Ovarian stimulation, either to induce ovulation in the management of anovulatory infertility or for controlled ovarian hyperstimulation in the course of in vitrofertilization, is a main part of the various ART. Nevertheless, ovarian stimulation entai...
