1.OVARIAN HYPERSTIMULATION SYNDROME WITH LUNG COMPLICATION: CASE REPORT
Brunei International Medical Journal 2022;18():46-50
Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome is an iatrogenic complication of ovarian stimulation cycle commonly used for in vitro fertilisation. Fluid shift due to capillary leakage causes a wide spectrum of presentation. The lung complication of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome are reported in about 10 per cent of severe cases and isolated pleural effusion without ascites is rare. Herein we report two cases of severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome with pleural effusion. Both of them were normal responder of ovarian stimulation and presented with dyspnoea, nausea and vomiting. Clinical findings revealed reduced air entry of lung field and pleural effusion without significant ascites. Symptomatic management and thoracocentesis prevented further deterioration and helped in satisfactory recovery.

We report a rare case of altered mental status in a young patient with immature ovarian teratoma. A 22-year-old
woman presented with seizures, hallucination, amnesia and orofacial dyskinesia. Examination and investigation
revealed an ovarian massand asalphing-oophorectomy was performed. The histopathological examination result
showed an immature teratoma grade 2 with thepresence of immature primitive glial tissue. Her CSF N-Methyl-DAspartic
acid receptor (Anti-NMDAR) antibodytest was positive. N-Methyl-D-Aspartic acid receptor antibody
associated limbic encephalitis is an autoimmune antibody-mediated neuropsychiatric disorder. Resection of the
tumour and immunotherapy resulted in full recovery.
