[Persistent anovulation following laparoscopic electrocoagulation of the ovarian surface in a patient with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)].
We report on a 32-year-old woman with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) who showed no ovarian reaction (oestradiol increase, leading follicle) to clomiphene and gonadotropin stimulation before and after laparoscopic electrocoagulation of the ovarian surface (LEOS) although hormone values (LH-FSH ratio, androstenedione) after LEOS were within normal range. The case is discussed in terms of the literature.
