Abstract

A case of successful twin pregnancy following severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is reported. Ignorance of this complication of ovulation induction may result to serious morbidities, and even mortality. With awareness of this condition, preventive measures can be instituted. Similarly, early recognition and prompt treatment may result to a reduction in the rate of its progression to a severe, potentially fatal stage. Consequently, a favorable outcome may be achieved.
