Abstract

Introduction: The ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome is usually iatrogenic and occurs as a complication of ovulation induction. It may be associated with multiple pregnancy, molar pregnancy, hypothyroidism and rarely following hydrops fetalis. We report a case of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome following hydrops fetalis.
Case Report: The patient was a 35 years old woman with history of vaginal delivery with immune hydrops fetalis. She had abdominal pain, nausea, decrease of appetite. She was hospitalized with diagnosis of hyperstimulation syndrome. Clinical and laboratory signs of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome appeared during hospitalization.

Conclusion: The ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome following hydrops fetalis is a very rare complication. Other causes of abdominal pain and distention should be study.
