INTRODUCTION Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome is a complication of controlled ovarian hyperstimulation during cycles of Assisted Medical Reproduction. The objective of this work was to analyze those cycles to achieve a better knowledge of this pathology, namely risk factors and strategies for prevention and treatment of Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome. MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrospective a...

INTRODUCTION We aimed to identify the variables associated with ovarian hyperstimulation in Asian patients and compare them with western standards. METHODS This is a retrospective case record analysis of 79 patients with ovarian hyperstimulation at a tertiary restructured hospital. RESULTS Gonadotropin doses resulting in hyperstimulation did not vary between long and antagonist cycles in wo...

Background Severe vulvar edema is a rare entity occurring with ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. This edema can be incapacitating; causing pain and limited patient mobility. With the usual conservative approach, vulvar edema can take several days to resolve. Aim The aim of this case report is to describe the use of local myrrh for the management of severe vulvar edema associated with ovarian...

Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome is a serious complication of ovulation induction and has a diverse clinical spectrum from edema to thromboembolism. Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, one of the well known hypercoagulable states, can be also manifested as an arterial or venous thrombosis and recurrent spontaneous abortion. Sometimes a patient with antiphospholipid antibodies might not notice ...

BACKGROUND The high iatrogenic multiple pregnancy rate associated with intrauterine insemination (IUI) in hyperstimulated cycles is becoming less acceptable. Therefore we investigated data from an earlier prospective trial with regard to the specific question of whether the application of mild hyperstimulation in IUI cycles could be an alternative strategy for obtaining acceptable pregnancy rat...

BACKGROUND/AIMS The aim of this study was to establish a pathogenetic mechanism of pancreatitis in celiac disease and IgG4-related disease using gluten-sensitive human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DQ8 transgenic mice. METHODS Transgenic mice expressing HLA-DQ8 genes were utilized. Control mice were not sensitized but were fed gliadin-free rice cereal. Experimental groups consisted of gliadin-sensi...

Isolated unilateral pleural effusion is uncommon presentation of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. The pathogenesis of this syndrome involves an increased permeability of ovarian capillaries and mesothelial vessels triggered by the release of vasoactive substances by the ovaries under human chorionic gonadotropin stimulation. Physicians should consider this potentially life-threatening diagnos...

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...

OBJECTIVE To review the clinical aspects of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome and provide recommendations on its diagnosis and clinical management. OUTCOMES These guidelines will assist in the early recognition and management of ovarian hyperstimulation. Early recognition and prompt systematic supportive care will help avert poor outcomes. EVIDENCE Medline, Embase, and the Cochrane database...
