The purpose of this review is to analyze current medical strategies in the prevention of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) during ovarian stimulation for in vitro fertilization. Owing to contemporary preventive measures of OHSS, the incidence of moderate and severe forms of the syndrome varies between 0.18% and 1.40%. Although none of medical strategies is completely effective, there is ...

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...

Background: The affordable protocol to prevent the severe OHSS in two groups of patients PCO syndrome and non PCO high responder. Methods and Materials: PubMed and Medline were searched from January 2000 till end of May 2014. This Study investigates whether the mild protocol is associated to prevent severe OHSS in infertile female. Results: According to this survey, 9 studies were included and ...

BACKGROUND Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a recognized complication of ovulation induction, occurring in 1-10% of IVF and embryo transfer cycles. While mild OHSS is of no clinical relevance, severe OHSS is a life threatening complication. However, the efficacy of prevalent treatments appeared to be limited. We developed a continuous autotransfusion system with an ultrafiltration in...

OBJECTIVE To review the available knowledge on the use of GnRH agonist for ovulation triggering as a means to prevent ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). DESIGN(S) Review of pertinent English language studies published over the past 15 years. RESULT(S) The available literature suggests that while GnRH agonist effectively induces final oocyte maturation and ovulation, it also completel...

ART is proven of great help to all the infertile couples anxious to get pregnant , but is not free of side effects and complications. OHSS one of the most important complication especially in cases of PCOS. Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a potentially fatal complication of ovarian stimulation. The incidence has been estimated at 3 to 6% for moderate and 0.1 to 2% for severe OHSS. T...

We report a combined intra-uterine and tubal pregnancy associated with mild ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) following ovulation induction by clomiphene. The diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy was originally missed until rupture occurred. OHSS confused the clinical picture, the important diagnostic feature being the fall in the haemoglobin concentration. The patient had a left partial salpi...

We aimed to present the management, hospitilization time, pregnancy rates and complications of our polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients that we treated for OHSS in our clinic. Therefore this study is designed by analyzing of retrospectively collected data of 31 PCOS patients who were treated for OHSS. Diagnosis of PCOS is based on Rotterdam criteria that is published in 2003 and OHSS diagn...

BACKGROUND Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is one of the most important complications of assisted reproduction treatment. Many substances are involved in the regulation of the vascular permeability, which have been concerned to cause OHSS. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has emerged as one of the main angiogenic factors, which could be responsible for increased vascular perme...

Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a serious complication of controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH). The syndrome almost always presents either after hCG administration in susceptible patients or during early pregnancy. Despite many years of clinical experience, there are no precise methods to completely prevent severe OHSS, except by withholding the ovulation-inducing trigger of hC...
