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.
