Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome is a potentially fatal iatrogenic condition. This syndrome is characterized by a sudden increase of the vascular permeability which results in the development of a massive extravascular exudate in the peritoneal cavity, pleural, pericardium causing ascites, pleural and pericardial effusion. Severe forms are also accompanied by electrolyte disturbances and cardiopulmonary, hepatic, renal, and hemoconcentration associated with increased thromboembolic risk. This syndrome is avoidable by the judicious use of gonadotropins and careful monitoring of stimulation regimens.
