type 2 receptors for vascular endothelial growth factor are believed to be involved in the pathophysiology of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (ohss). the objective of this study was to examine the preventive effects of cabergoline on ohss and its complications. the study is a non randomized clinical trial conducted in 2006-2008 on 75 patients, which were at risk of ohss and underwent assisted...

Two cases of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) following the GIFT procedure are reported. This article highlights the potential dangers of this condition and discusses the classification and management.

Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), a life-threatening complication occurring in stimulated ovarian cycles, arises from treatment with gonadotropin for induction of follicular maturation in infertile women. Clinical characteristics of OHSS include ascites and pleural effusion induced by increased vascular permeability, where vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was suspected to be th...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of outpatient management of severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) requiring placement of a pigtail catheter. METHODS retrospective analysis of thirty-three consecutive patients who underwent in-vitro fertilization (2003-2009) and developed severe/critical OHSS requiring placement of a pigtail catheter. Patients who were managed on outpat...

BACKGROUND The objective of this investigation was to determine if kinase insert domain/vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (KDR/VEGFR2) genetic variation was associated with the development of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) in patients undergoing controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH). METHODS This was a case-control study of 174 patients who underwent controlled ovari...

abdominal compartment syndrome is a dangerous clinical situation, usually following abdominal injuries &operations.; it is seldom observed in patients with gynecologic and obstetric problems. abdominal compartment syndrome may be consequence ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. a 28-year-old woman presented as a sever ovarian hyperstimulation.the increased iap indicated that ohss may be considere...

The aim of this study was to compare the branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) and tyrosine concentration in the follicular fluid of infertile women with and without ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) in an in vitro fertilization program combined with controlled ovarian stimulation. Follicular fluid was aspirated during oocyte retrieval from 20 infertile patients who developed moderate-to-seve...

An ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) in spontaneous pregnancies is a very rare event. Hence, clinicians might make wrong decisions, such as laparotomy, because of suspicion of an ovarian carcinoma, or severe complications such as renal insufficiency may develop because the diagnosis and treatment of OHSS are delayed. Here we report a case of a woman in the 15th week of gestation, present...

Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is an important complication of ovarian stimulation and IVF that enhances patients' morbidity. To evaluate any increased incidence of hospitalization from severe OHSS during 2000, this study analysed certain clinical, ultrasound and laboratory characteristics of hospitalized patients with severe OHSS. These studies were carried out on women undergoing IV...

Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a lifethreatening iatrogenic complication of in vitro fertilization (IVF). One of the characteristic features of OHSS is increased vascular permeability due to the overproduction of vasoactive mediators from hyperstimulated and enlarged ovaries. Such altered permeability leads to fluid shifts from intravascular to interstitial or third-space compartme...
