Abstract

Background and Design.- A 32 year old nulligravida with a 9 year history of infertility presented with dry cough and left pleuritic chest pain. She had undergone a transfer of embryos after an induction of ovulation with follicle stimulating hormone, gonadtropin releasing hormone and human chorionic gonadotropin two weeks ago. Two days after admission dyspnea appeared and chest x-ray demonstrated a moderate left pleural effusion. Spiral CT revealed left pleural effusion with otherwise normal findings. Pleural fluid was a lymphocytic exudate. Pleural biopsy revealed nonspesific inflammatory changes. Plasma estradiol and β-HCG concentrations were 3901 pg/ml and 172 IU/L respectively. Pelvic ultrasonography showed bilateral enlarged ovaries with numerous follicular cysts and ascites compatible with ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHS). Pleural effusion may represent a diagnostic challenge for pulmonary clinician in OHS if the clinical presentation is equivocal.

Özet

Dokuz yıldır infertilite hikayesi olan 32 yaşındaki nullipar bayan hasta öksürük ve sol plevral ağrı ile başvurdu. İki hafta önce hastaya FSH, GRH ve HCG ile ovulasyon indüksiyonundan sonra embriyo transferi uygulanmıştı. Başvurudan iki gün sonra dispne şikayeti gelişti ve akciğer grafisinde orta büyüklükte sol plevral efüzyon saptandı. Spiral BT’de sol plevral efüzyon dışında patolojik bulgu görülmedi. Plevral efüzyon lenfositik eksuda karak-terindeydi. Plevra biyopsisinin histopatolojik incelemesinde nonspesifik inflamatuar değişiklikler saptandı. Plazma estradiol ve β-HCG değerleri sırasıyla 3901 pg/ml ve 172 IU/L olarak bulundu. Pelvis ultrasonografisinde over hiperstimulasyon sendromu (OHS) ile uyumlu çok sayıda folliküler kist içeren bilateral büyümüş overler ve asit belirlendi. Klinik bulguların belirgin olmadığı OHS olgularındaki plevral efüzyon göğüs hastalıkları klinisyenleri için tanısal zorluk teşkil edebilir.
