Introduction:
Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is usually iatrogenic and potentially life-threatening complication
of ovulation induction. It can occur rarely following hypothyroidism. We report this syndrome in two members of a family with
hypothyoidism and describe the effects of levothyroxine replacement in the management of it.
Cases:
A 15 years Old girl presented with abdominal pain and distention for a few months. On examination, she had classic
features of hypothyroidism. Abdominal ultrasound revealed enlarged ovaries with multilobulated ovarian cysts (Right ovary:
150�75mm, volume: 454cc; Left ovary: 130�70 mm, volume: 340cc).The second patient, a 14.5 years old girl (the cousin of the
patient1) presented to the emergency unit with acute abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting after a minor trauma. she had also
classic features of hypothyroidism. Abdominal ultrasound revealed enlarged ovaries with multilobulated ovarian cysts(Right
ovary: 110� 65 mm, volume: 279cc; Left ovary: 118� 58 mm, volume: 285cc). Both patients,started on levothyroxine 100 μg per
day regarding their thyroid function test.hypothyroid features resolved and thyroid function test became normal after 2 months.
Follow-up ultrasound of the first patient, showed significantly smaller ovaries after 6week and became normal with complete
resolution of cysts after 4 months. The second patient who was less compliant with her treatment also showed improvement, but
in longer duration.
Conclusion:
In OHSS associated with hypothyroidism, patients could benefit from levothyroxine replacemnet not only for
treatment of hypothyroidism but also for achieving normalization of ovary size with regression of cysts within a few months.
