Area of Science:

  • Reproductive endocrinology and infertility treatment.

Background:

  • Ovarian stimulation is a common treatment for female infertility, particularly in regions where infertility carries significant social stigma.
  • Human menopausal gonadotropin (hMG) is frequently used to induce ovulation.

Observation:

  • A 28-year-old Senegalese woman developed severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) after hMG treatment.
  • The patient experienced multiple organ failure, including ascites, unresponsive to conservative management.

Findings:

  • Despite symptomatic treatment with corticosteroids, paracentesis, and fluid expansion, the patient's condition deteriorated.
  • Bilateral ovariectomy was ultimately required, resulting in permanent sterility.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the critical need for meticulous ultrasound and 17 beta-estradiol monitoring during ovarian stimulation.
