Expectant management of ectopic pregnancy in the presence of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.
Cases of coexisting ovarian hyperstimulation and ectopic pregnancy are rare, and pose a difficult diagnostic problem. The routine attempts at laparoscopic diagnosis and treatment of these pregnancies may prove to be hazardous. Such cases may be better managed nonsurgically either by methotrexate or, in selected cases, by expectant management while monitoring the beta-hCG level and clinical status.
