Abstract:
We report the management of spontaneous ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome in a 23-year-old patient, diagnosed at 8 gestational weeks, in a context of moderate hypothyroidism. The etiology of spontaneous ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome should seek hypersecretion of glycoprotein hormones (hCG, TSH, FSH and LH) and/or mutation of FSH and LH receptors. It will eliminate an incipient ovarian neoplasia. The laparoscopic exploration can be done if diagnosis doubt persists. A diagnostic algorithm can be proposed.
