OBJECTIVE
To assess aetiological factors and complications in a patient with severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) and internal jugular vein thrombosis.


METHODS
A 27-year-old non pregnant woman with bilateral ovarian masses who had underwent laparotomy for suspicion of malignant tumor. The pathological examination disclosed malignancy and the diagnosis of OHSS were confirmed. The postoperative evolution was complicated by internal jugular, subclavian vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. All biological parameters were negative. The evolution was good.


CONCLUSIONS
The incidence of thromboembolism in women with OHSS is low and the typical finding is deep venous thrombosis in the neck area. Preventive measure of OHSS is very important, and the patients must be treated timely and correctly once OHSS occurs.
