Abstract
The complications of severe OHSS include renal failure, hypovolemic shock, venous thromboembolism, respiratory distress syndrome, and even death. The woman, a 30-year-old nulliparous, presented to our emergency department with progressive abdominal distension for more than 20 days, following ovarian induction. The acute cerebral thrombosis was diagnosed and after getting the couple, we arranged emergency thrombolytic therapy and then transfer to Intensive Care Unit for continuous therapy, including supportive and anticoagulation treatments. [...]the serum hCG raised to 1449 mIU/ml, and the TVS showed intrauterine pregnancy (triplet). Because the pregnancy, especially triplet, will aggravate the condition, we advised curettage with ultrasonographic monitoring, under intravenous anesthesia. A review analyzed the assisted reproductive technology and thromboembolic complications (58 articles reported 70 cases). Chan WS, Dixon ME.
