Abstract:
We describe a case of severe spontaneous ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) with MR findings. MR scans showed bilateral symmetric enlargement of ovaries with multiple cystic changes, giving the classic "wheel-spoke" appearance. There was no definite abnormally thickened or enhanced wall, but there was internal hemorrhage in some chambers. To avoid unnecessary laparotomy, we emphasize the importance of careful diagnosis to differentiate spontaneous OHSS from ovarian cystic neoplasms.
