title: Treatment of severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome by ultrafiltration and reinfusion of ascitic fluid.
abstract: Two severe OHSS patients were treated by ultrafiltration and reinfusion of their ascitic fluid. Improvement of symptoms was marked after this treatment with no complications, and termination of pregnancy was avoided. Treatment of OHSS with this ultrafiltration and reinfusion method may help to resolve serious cases of OHSS and become a useful treatment for severe OHSS.
