Introduction:
The massive world-wide development of assisted reproduction (AR) technology and marked increase of females with infertility treatment lead to different medical complications. One of them is ovarian hyperstimulatory syndrome (OHSS), potential fatal complication in AR. It demonstrates with abdominal discomfort, nauzea, vomitus, ascites, and general alteration. It can imitate an acute abdomen syndrome, and it can lead to the primary surgical assessment.
Aim:
The description of OHSS as a cause of an acute abdomen syndrome.
Methods:
Authors present a case of OHSS with the symptomatology of acute abdomen, which was handled by surgeon, primarily.
Conclusion:
Consistent patient history, including gynecological history, and careful physical and laboratory examinations with relevant imaging methods lead to the elimination of invasive procedures. OHSS is the most actual in differential diagnosis of acute abdomen in fertile females for that reasons.
