title: [Occlusion of the middle cerebral artery after induction of ovulation with gonadotropins].
abstract: A case of occlusion of the middle cerebral artery during a treatment with gonadotropin is reported. Such cases are unusual when one considers that these treatments are widely used. They occur after a markek ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. Treatment is purely preventive with clinical, laboratory and ultrasonic examinations before injection of beta-HCG.
