Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To report a rare case of left middle cerebral artery thrombosis in a patient after controlled ovarian hyperstimulation and IVF. DESIGN: Case report. SETTING: University-affiliated teaching hospital. PATIENT(S): A 30-year-old woman who had undergone in vitro fertilization and subsequently developed left middle cerebral artery thrombosis. INTERVENTION(S): Ovulation induction with gonadotropins, IVF-ET, sodium ozagrel injection, and mannitol and albumin administration. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Outcome of treatment. RESULT(S): The patient survived with some neurologic sequelae. CONCLUSION(S): Prevention of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome is key to reducing incidence of thrombosis. Be aware of any neurologic symptoms after IVF-ET. Immediate and correct therapy should be given after thrombosis is suspected.
