OBJECTIVE
To report a case of bilateral thrombosis of the internal jugular veins in a patient after controlled ovarian hyperstimulation and IVF.
METHODS
Case report.
METHODS
University-based IVF program.
METHODS
Ovulation induction with gonadotropins, IVF-ET, albumin administration, and therapeutic heparinization.
METHODS
Doppler ultrasound of neck veins.
RESULTS
Severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome and bilateral thrombosis of the internal jugular veins occurred despite prophylactic administration of albumin. This was treated successfully with therapeutic heparinization.
CONCLUSIONS
Internal jugular venous thrombosis, a rare complication of ovulation induction with gonadotropins, should be considered in patients with neck pain and swelling.
