Q

Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome
- Mild form =
- Severe form =

A
  • mild = pelvic discomfort w/ moderately enlarged ovaries
  • severe = significant pelvic pain, abdominal distention, enlarged ovaries (>10cm)

Q

SONO: Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome

A
  • Enlarged ovaries (5cm -12cm)
  • Contain multiple large follicles known as theca-lutein cysts
  • May see ascites / pleural effusions
  • Similar SONO look to Theca- Lutein cysts. Key difference is that Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome is caused by infertility treatment/ ovulation induction.

Q

Explain the link between OHS & theca lutein cysts.

A

hCG is administered as part of ovulation induction, & theca-lutein cysts occur as a result of high hCG levels.
Therefore, a person w/ OHS will appear with bilateral theca-lutein cysts on their ovaries.
