Abstract

ABSTRACT
The Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS) is characterised by a cystic enlargement
of the ovaries and an acute fluid shift from the intravascular to the third space, which
may result in ascites, pleural infusions, pericardial infusion and even generalised oedema.
Although there are a lot of treatment modalities concerning OHSS, palliative care still
remains as a basic and effective way of treatment as well as our main approach.
