Ascites due to ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome: A case report and review of literature
Objectives: To report a case of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome
(OHSS), to discuss the differential diagnosis and to give a review of
current evidences in diagnosis and management of ovarian
hyperstimulation syndrome. Design: A detailed description of a case
of OHSS followed by a thorough review of case reports, randomized
controlled trials and review articles to assess the current modalities
of diagnosis and management of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.
Results: A 29-year-old female was admitted with dyspnoea and features
suggestive of polyserositis. Patient was evaluated for causes of
polyserositis. She gave history of ovulation induction and invitro
fertilization one week prior to the onset of dyspnoea. With the
positive history of invitro fertilization and negative markers for
other causes of capillary leak syndrome the patient was diagnosed to
have OHSS. She was treated and improved within a week. Conclusion:
Diagnosis and management of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome requires
high index of suspicion, prompt investigation and early initiation of
effective therapy. With correct diagnosis and early treatment, most
patients recover
