Abstract

Two cases of severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome following ovulation induction are described, one of them following in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer, and the other after conventional ovarian stimulation. This condition was associated with an acute reversible decline in renal function. The treatment and the possible pathophysiological mechanisms are discussed.
