  3. The uterus (after Soranos of Ephesus)

  4. Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) Rabau et al, Am J Obstet Gynecol 98: 92, 1967

  5. Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a rareiatrogenic complication of ovarian stimulation occurring during the luteal phase or during early pregnancy. It is potentially fatal and is difficult to predict. Fortunately, the reported prevalence of the severe form of OHSS is small, ranging from 0.5 to 5%.
