ABSTRACT

Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a rare iatrogenic complication of ovarian stimulation, usually occurring during the luteal phase or during the early part of pregnancy. OHSS is a potential complication of ovarian induction by almost every agent used for ovarian stimulation. Today, due to aggressive treatment protocols including the development of in vitro fertilization and cryopreservation with the goal of obtaining sufficient numbers of oocytes and embryos, an increased risk of developing OHSS is present. Patients with the severe or life-threatening forms of OHSS can be critically ill and require aggressive medical intervention. There is no specific treatment for, and therapy is mainly supportive until the condition resolves.
