Ongoing twin pregnancy in an obese, polycystic patient with early critical ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome and severe liver dysfunction: Case report

Abstract

Early ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome is an acute consequence of the excessive ovarian response to gonadotropin stimulation and has a higher risk of preclinical miscarriage. We reported a case of ongoing twin pregnancy in an obese patient with polycystic ovary disease, critical early ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome and liver dysfunction. This case demonstrates the severity of gastrointestinal symptoms and liver dysfunction that can occur with ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. We tried to focus on the pathogenesis of liver dysfunction, which is a rare and life-threatening complication and suggested strategies to prevent similar cases in the future. © 2012 by Türkiye Klinikleri.
