GALVAO, Ana et al. Bilateral massive vulvar edema and thyroid dysfunction in ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. Acta Obstet Ginecol Port [online]. 2018, vol.12, n.2, pp.153-156. ISSN 1646-5830.

Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) can be a serious condition. There are very few cases described of massive vulvar edema in OHSS. Ovarian hyperstimulation can also have an important impact on thyroid function. We present a case of severe OHSS, massive vulvar edema and severe thyroid dysfunction in a young woman with a congenital hypothyroidism submitted to a second IVF cycle for anovulation. The particularities of this case are related to the fact that it had severe and rare complications, even being a second IVF cycle, conducted in the same way as the previous one, in which there was no pregnancy.

Keywords : Vulvar edema; Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome; Thyroid function; Controlled ovarian hyperstimulation.
