A Case Report of Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome Combined with Ovarian Torsion after Assisted Reproductive Technology Assisted Pregnancy

doi:10.12280/gjszjk.20240138

Abstract

Abstract:

With the development of assisted reproductive technology (ART), ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) as a main iatrogenic complication is also inevitable, which further increases the risk of ovarian torsion. The clinical symptoms and imaging characteristics of the patient with OHSS combined with ovarian torsion are relatively atypical, which means that the early identification and diagnosis of this acute abdomen is difficult. We report a case of OHSS combined with ovarian torsion before egg retrieval during ART treatment. The conservative treatment after egg retrieval was ineffective, and ultimately surgical treatment was still inevitable. This case suggests that the understanding of OHSS complicated with ovarian torsion should be strengthened during ART treatment, so as to achieve the early identification, early diagnosis and early treatment of this acute abdomen.
