Abstract

Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is an unusual complication of ovarian stimulation with exogenous gonadotrophins. We describe a case of severe OHSS with bilateral hydrothorax and ascites. We discuss the different pathogenetic hypothesis and the differential diagnostic possibility.
