    Summary

    Excessive ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) in 18 patients, often induced by gonadotropins, requires intensive management. Early diagnosis and conservative treatment with plasma expanders are crucial for patient recovery.

    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive Endocrinology
    • Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology

    Background:

    • Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a significant risk associated with ovulation induction therapies.
    • Human menopausal gonadotropins and clomiphene citrate with hCG are common inciting agents.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report on the clinical presentation and management of 18 hospitalized patients with severe OHSS.
    • To discuss the pathogenesis, prevention, and treatment strategies for OHSS.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 18 hospitalized patients diagnosed with OHSS.
    • Treatment involved hospitalization, plasma expander infusions, and anticoagulation for thromboembolic events or severe hemoconcentration.

    Main Results:

    • OHSS was induced by human menopausal gonadotropins in 14 cases and by clomiphene/hCG in 4 cases.
    • Five patients conceived, resulting in diverse pregnancy outcomes including quintuplets and abortions.
    • Conservative management with plasma expanders was the primary therapeutic approach.

    Conclusions:

    • OHSS necessitates early diagnosis and intensive, individualized management.
    • Conservative treatment strategies are effective in managing severe OHSS, with anticoagulation reserved for specific indications.
