Abstract

We present a rare case of severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) in a 19-year-old woman undergoing a second donation cycle of controlled ovarian hyperstimulation. The patient developed severe OHSS despite the implementation of preventive strategies and required hospitalization for 14 days, including treatment in the intensive care unit. The underlying pathophysiology that triggers this extreme systemic response in certain patients, despite the implementation of preventive measures, remains unknown. Continued research efforts are necessary to improve our understanding and management of this condition.
