| Abstract: | Thoracic endometriosis syndrome is a well-described, rare manifestation of endometriosis. We present a case of a 35-year old
woman undergoing controlled ovarian stimulation prior to in vitro fertilization (IVF) who developed bilateral hemorrhagic
pleural effusions. She was initially diagnosed with ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, a complication of infertility therapy;
however, she was later found to have occult thoracic endometriosis. We describe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome and review
the manifestations of thoracic endometriosis syndrome. Although endometriosis is a hormone-dependent disease, the rate of
IVF complications related to endometriosis is low. |
