We report a case of a 22-year-old single female with spontaneous ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (s-OHSS) referred for transvaginal aspiration of follicles. Investigations revealed primary hypothyroidism, mild hyperprolactinaemia and unelevated levels of both follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and estradiol. Supplementation with L-thyroxine lead to euthyroid status and gradual resolution of signs and symptoms of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) over 4 months.

ObjectiveTo describe the management of a patient with a pituitary adenoma secreting follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) associated with spontaneous ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (sOHSS) who was treated with in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET).MethodsWe report a clinical case of a woman of reproductive age with menstrual irregularity, infertility and ovarian hyperstimulation due to recurrent pituitary adenoma secreting FSH, which persisted after transsphenoidal surgery.She underwent the diagnosis by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and laboratory tests,and finally she was treated with IVF-ET.Result(s)The patient was plagued by a recurrent pituitary adenoma for many years and tried various treatments. After complete transsphenoidal surgery, sOHSS decreased, as shown by a reduction in oestradiol levels and an improvement in the ultrasonography parameters; however, secondary amenorrhea occurred. Finally, pregnancy was achieved through IVF-ET and the symptoms of ovarian hyperstimulation were relieved.Conclusion(s)IVF-ET was found to be effective for the treatment of recurrent pituitary adenoma, thus representing a therapeutic option that should be taken into consideration in such cases.
