Spontaneous and severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome after delivery: A case report

Abstract

Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is almost exclusively associated with ovulation induction with gonadotropins or, occasionally, clomiphene citrate. Severe ovarian hyperstimulation after delivery has never been reported previously. Herein, a case of OHSS after Cesarean operation is presented. The left ovary was subjected to wedge section and three-quarters of the tissue was removed. Cysts on the right ovary were enucleated and fluid within the cysts was sucked away. The patient was treated by intravenous albumin infusion.
