Postparacentesis vulvar edema in ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome

Ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a serious, potentially life threatening complication of ovulation induction. The clinical picture of severe OHSS includes ovarian enlargement, ascites, pleural effusion, increased coagulability, and electrolyte disorders. Very few cases of massive vulvar edema in OHSS have been reported in the literature.
