Bilateral massive vulvar edema and thyroid dysfunction in ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome
| Resumo: | Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) can be a serious condition. There are very few cases described of massive vulvar edema in OHSS. Ovarian hyperstimulation can also have an important impact on thyroid function. We present a case of severe OHSS, massive vulvar edema and severe thyroid dysfunction in a young woman with a congenital hypothyroidism submitted to a second IVF cycle for anovulation. The particularities of this case are related to the fact that it had severe and rare complications, even being a second IVF cycle, conducted in the same way as the previous one, in which there was no pregnancy. |
