title: Thrombosis post ovarian hyperstimulation.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To document a rare case of internal jugular and subclavian vein thrombosis following ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.
  
  
  METHODS
  Case report.
  
  
  METHODS
  District General Hospital in the United Kingdom.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 37-year-old lady who had undergone in vitro fertilization and subsequently developed internal jugular and subclavian vein thrombosis as a complication of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.
  
  
  METHODS
  Treatment with low molecular weight heparin throughout pregnancy.
  
  
  METHODS
  Outcome of treatment and the pregnancy.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Successful treatment with a live birth at term.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  High index of suspicion for venous thrombosis is needed in women with ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. Current regimes of prophylactic heparin in these women should be reviewed, as they seem inadequate in preventing thrombosis.
