Severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome and gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist trigger in patients with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism: A report of two cases.

Ovarian Hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a rare condition in patients with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. Two patients with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism are reported, a rare case of severe OHSS and a case of prevented OHSS via gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist trigger, respectively. The first case was a 31-year-old patient. In vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment was performed three times but the patient never developed OHSS. The first patient was diagnosed as having severe OHSS on the ninth day after the fresh embryo transfer. She stayed 66 days in hospital and 50.5 litres of fluid were aspirated from her abdomen. The second case was a 26-year-old and primary infertile patient. She had never undergone IVF treatment. The GnRH agonist stimulation test was performed before IVF treatment. After the ovarian stimulation, GnRH agonist trigger was given. Thirty-two oocytes were retrieved from the ovaries and OHSS did not occur. Although severe OHSS is rare, it can develop in patients hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. If a GnRH stimulation test is performed before ovarian stimulation, OHSS can be prevented because the test allows agonist triggering instead of hCG in hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. Over Hiperstimülasyon sendromu (OHSS) hipogonadotropik hipogonadizm hastalarında nadirdir. Burada ciddi OHSS olgusu ve gonadotropin salgılatıcı
hormon (GnRH) agonist triggeriyle OHSS engellenmiş hipogonadotropik hipogonadizmi olan iki hasta sunulmuştur. İlk olgu 31 yaşında bir hastaydı. Üç
kez in vitro fertilizasyon (IVF) tedavisi uygulanmış ancak olguda over hiperstimülasyon sendromu hiç gelişmemiş. Taze embriyo transferinden sonraki
dokuzuncu günde şiddetli OHSS tanısı konuldu. Hastanede 66 gün kaldı ve batından 50,5 litre asit sıvısı aspire edildi. İkinci olgu 26 yaşında ve primer
infertil hastaydı. Hiç IVF tedavisi görmemişti. IVF tedavisinden önce GnRH agonist stimülasyon testi uygulandı. Ovaryan stimülasyondan sonra GnRH
agonist triggeri yapıldı. Toplanan 32 oosite rağmen OHSS meydana gelmemiştir. Hipogonadotropik hipogonadizm hastalarında şiddetli OHSS nadir
olmakla birlikte gelişebilir. Eğer hipogonadotropik hipogonadizm hastalarında ovülasyon indüksiyonundan önce GnRH stimülasyon testi yapılırsa, hCG
yerine GnRH agonist trigger yapılabilir ve OHSS önlenebilir
