OBJECTIVE: To increase awareness of the development of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) days after a molar pregnancy evacuation. DESIGN: Case report. SETTING: Community hospital. PATIENT(S): A 23-year-old woman with severe OHSS. INTERVENTION(S): Supportive management and observation in the hospital. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Regression of the symptoms and physical signs of OHSS in a woman who developed severe OHSS 3 days after a molar pregnancy evacuation. RESULT(S): The patient improved and was discharged home. CONCLUSION(S): This case reinforces, besides the occurrence of OHSS after spontaneous pregnancy, the fact that the syndrome can present days after the usual curative dilatation and evacuation of a molar pregnancy, and that OHSS should be considered in the differential diagnosis.
