OVARIAN HYPERSTIMULATION SYNDROMEAS A COMPLICATION OF MOLAR PREGNANCY: CASE REPORT

The authors present an atypical case of complete hydatidiform mole.Woman, 27years old, who went to the emergency room for abdominal pain associated with 10 week pregnancy. Echography revealed the presence of hyper stimulated ovaries leading to diagnosisof spontaneous Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS). Blood sample revealed high levels of hCG (300000 U/L), which associated with the ultrasound finding of placenta with vesicular areas, led to the suspicion of CHM,Dilatation and evacuation (D&E) were performed at 11 weeks of gestation. The signs and symptoms of OHSS were the severest on day 4 after D&E, when hCGhad already decreased We must be aware that OHSS can occur duringmolar pregnancy, and can be exacerbated after D&E.
