puntuación entre 0 y 3. Es también interesante observar que el mayor porcentaje de nuestros pacientes (64,2%) presentaba valores por encima de 7 y dentro del grupo de 4–7, todos obtuvieron una puntuación de 6-7, lo que indicarı́a en parte la necesidad de analizar los puntos de corte tal y como señala el autor. Por ejemplo, un paciente con puntuación de 6 que se enfrenta a un trayecto de cerca de...

Thromboembolic disease, as a complication of ovarian stimulation and assisted conception techniques, is generally considered to be a rare complication of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome and, by implication, lower limb in origin. Sporadic cases of unusually sited thromboses, both venous and arterial, have been reported. This paper aims to draw attention to the relatively large number of such t...

Several case reports have indicated that a small subgroup of patients may develop ovarian hyperstimulation following the administration of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists (GnRHa) without gonadotropins. However, since only few such cases have been published, it is unclear what course to follow in subsequent cycles after ovarian hyperstimulation in the first cycle using only GnRHa. A 33-y...

Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is potentially life-threatening complication associated with ovarian induction. OHSS is a very rare event in spontaneous pregnancies, most often in situations of multiple or molar gestations, hypothyroidism or polycystic ovary syndrome. We describe a patient with naturally conceived pregnancy associated with spontaneous OHSS complicated by hyperthyroidis...

This report describes two cases that developed moderate ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) without evidence of haemoconcentration. Both patients developed serious cerebrovascular thrombosis resulting in hemiparesis, and recovered after treatment with anticoagulants. This report emphasizes that other factors may contribute to vascular thrombosis, and illustrates that cerebrovascular accide...

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...

In vitro fertilization‐embryo transfer (IVF‐ET) is an effective method and an elective procedure to treat infertility caused by various factors, for example, endometriosis, tubal obstruction, and polycystic ovary syndrome. However, this technique leads to a higher rate of complications and are therefore always iatrogenic such as ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, thrombosis, multiple pregnancy,...

During pregnancy, venous thrombosis of the distal extremities is not uncommon. However, thrombosis in the upper part of the body, such as jugular vein thrombosis, is rare. If underlying causes such as ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) or septic thrombophlebitis (Lemierre's syndrome) are excluded, a serous borderline ovary tumour (BOT) must be considered and MR imaging of the abdomen coul...
