Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome complicating a spontaneous singleton pregnancy: a case report

H D Chae et al. J Assist Reprod Genet. 2001 Feb.

Abstract

It has been known that most cases of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) are associated with the use of exogenous gonadotropins to induce multiple ovulation. However, OHSS is infrequently associated with a spontaneous ovulatory cycle, usually in the case of multiple gestations, hypothyroidism, or polycystic ovarian syndrome. We report a case of severe OHSS in a spontaneously pregnant woman with no underlying disease.
