Abstract

Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is characterized by ovarian enlargement, weight gain, abdominal distention, generalized edema, ascites and hydrothorax. The optimal management of OHSS is a proper fluid intake together with low dose heparin administration for prevention of thrombosis risk. Thrombophilia may aggravate the risk of thrombosis in OHSS. We report a case of subclavian and internal jugular vein thrombosis as a late complication of OHSS in a patient with heterozygous factor V Leiden mutation in an ICSI cycle.
