title: A case of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome in which antithrombin III deficiency occurred because of its loss into ascites.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To present a case of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome in which antithrombin III activity in plasma was decreased and in ascites was increased.
  
  
  METHODS
  Case report.
  
  
  METHODS
  Hospital-based clinic for reproductive medicine.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 27-year-old woman who was transferred to our hospital because of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.
  
  
  METHODS
  Induced abortion.
  
  
  METHODS
  Antithrombin III activity in plasma and ascites.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Antithrombin III activity in ascites was slightly lower than that in plasma.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The loss of antithrombin III into ascites probably caused its deficiency in this case.
