Ascites due to ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome in a oocyte donor: A case report
Journal Title: Panacea Journal of Medical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
In vitro fertilization (IVF) using donated oocytes has proven to be an highly effective treatment option for many prospective parents struggling with infertility, and the usage of donated oocytes in assisted reproduction has increased many folds since the technique was first successfully used in 1984.(1) Ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a rare, potentially life-threatening systemic complication caused by various iatrogenic and spontaneous (noniatrogenic) ovarian stimulation occurring due to littleknown patho-physiological mechanisms. The vast majority of OHSS cases are usually iatrogenic and are seen to complicate about 1% of all assisted reproductive technologies, and are related to use of exogenous hormonal therapy.(2) Long-term complications of assisted reproductive technologies are thromboembolic disease particularly in upper half of body, higher risk of pregnancy complications like abnormal placentation, miscarriage, gestational diabetes and hypertensive disorders. A link between assisted conception and number of genital cancers particularly breast, ovary and endometrium has also been identified. Fetal disorders include low birth weight, congenital malformations and growth disorders
