Abstract

Background: Thromboembolism is a rare but extremely serious complication of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. Case report: We report a case of left internal jugular vein thrombosis, presenting as a late complication of moderate ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. Conclusion: Prevention of vascular thrombosis should be a part of the treatment in the setting of assisted reproductive procedures complicated with ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. © Springer-Verlag 2003.
