[Isolated pleurisy revealing ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome].

Ovarian hyperstimulation is a rare but serious iatrogenic complication following induction of ovulation cycles. Release of vasoactive substances by the stimulated ovaries leads to leakage of intravascular fluid into the extracellular and serous spaces due to enhanced capillary permeability. Pleural effusion is a classical finding in the most severe forms, often associated with ascitis and signs of hemoconcentration. We report the case of a women who presented pleural effusion as the sole inaugural sign of ovarian hyperstimulation.
