Spontaneous ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome – understanding the dilemma

Abstract

Ovarian hyper-stimulation syndrome (OHSS) is an uncommon identity due to variable number of causes, gestation and gestational disease being more common than thyroiditis and other causes. The role of radiology and biochemical markers are of utmost importance in not only diagnosing spontaneous ovarian hyper-stimulation syndrome (sOHSS) but also ruling out other cystic ovarian diseases and to determine the underlying aetiology and course of the disease. Understanding its pathophysiology and genetics holds the key to unravel the mysteries of this condition.

卵巢过度刺激综合征（OHSS）是一种由多种原因引起的罕见疾病，病因中妊娠与妊娠期疾病比甲状腺与其他疾病更为常见。放射学与生物化学标志物起到极为重要的作用，不但可以诊断自发性卵巢过度刺激综合征（sOHSS），还能够排除其他卵巢囊性疾病，进而找到发病原因，了解发病过程。了解该疾病最关键的是研究其病理生理学和遗传学机制。
