title: Cerebral venous thrombosis secondary to ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.
abstract: We report a case of a woman who underwent in-vitro fertilisation embryo transfer treatment for infertility and developed an acute stroke (left hemiparesis and headache). The stroke was caused by cerebral venous thrombosis due to ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. We review the current background about this uncommon disorder.
