title: Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome after a molar pregnancy evacuation.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To increase awareness of the development of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) days after a molar pregnancy evacuation.
  
  
  METHODS
  Case report.
  
  
  METHODS
  Community hospital.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 23-year-old woman with severe OHSS.
  
  
  METHODS
  Supportive management and observation in the hospital.
  
  
  METHODS
  Regression of the symptoms and physical signs of OHSS in a woman who developed severe OHSS 3 days after a molar pregnancy evacuation.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The patient improved and was discharged home.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This case reinforces, besides the occurrence of OHSS after spontaneous pregnancy, the fact that the syndrome can present days after the usual curative dilatation and evacuation of a molar pregnancy, and that OHSS should be considered in the differential diagnosis.
