Background Evaluation of anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) cut-off levels in assisted reproductive technology (ART) as predictive factor for individualization of stimulation protocols and to avoid ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). MaterialsAndMethods In a retrospective study, 177 infertile patients were assessed for AMH in serum and follicular fluid (FF) on the day of follicular puncture (FP...

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is stated to be a possible promoter of the development and the severity of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). The secretion of VEGF in granulosa cells seems to be human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) dependent. In this prospective study, the data of 10 patients suffering from severe OHSS with ascites and pleural effusions (haematocrit, fluid balan...

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...

Objective: Although, earlier studies have evaluated the significance of various estradiol patterns during controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH), their prognostic significance remains unclear. The objective of this study is to investigate the rate of increase in estradiol (ROI-E2) during COH and evaluate it as a predictor of ovarian response. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective stud...

Severe ovarian hyperstymulation syndrome is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication in patients undergoing assisted reproductive techniques (ART). The pathogenesis of this condition is likely to be multifactorial. The aim of the retrospective study was to present management in moderate and severe iatrogenic ovarian hyperstymulation syndrome (OHSS) in clinical material. The study gr...

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...

 The use of ovarian stimulation for infertility treatment is associated with side effects of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) and potential cancer risk. This is also true in high risk women such as those polycystic with ovary (PCO) and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). In vitro maturation (IVM) of oocytes was primarily developed to make IVF safe for women with PCO and at high risk of ...

Management of severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) includes hospitalization for fluid and electrolyte management. Abdominal paracentesis is also used as minimally invasive form of management in selected cases of severe OHSS following ovulation induction. However, if pregnancy ensues, the syndrome persists for a longer period, and the clinical manifestations of severe OHSS could mask ...
