title: Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome associated with the use of the gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist leuprolide acetate.
abstract: Severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome occurred after the administration of LA to suppress multicystic ovaries. It is possible that this patient with multiple ovarian cysts, each 2 to 3 cm in size, is at increased risk for a paradoxical stimulatory rather than inhibitory response to GnRH-a.
