초록

난소과자극증후군은 보조생식술에서 배란유도 및 과배란유도 시 발생할 수 있는 가장 심각한 합병증으로 알려져 있다. 흉수는 중증 난소과자극증후군에서 10%에서 보고되고 있고, 주로 심한 복수와 동반되어 나타난다. 하지만, 심한 복수를 동반하지 않는 중증 편측 흉수는 드물게 보고 있고, 아직 병태생리에 대해 명확히 밝혀진바 없다. 본 저자들은 과배란유도 및 인공수정과 관련된 오태아 임신에 의해 유발된 경미한 복수와 중증 편측 흉수를 동반한 난소과자극증후군을 경험하였고, 흉수천자와 같은 침습적 시술 없이 보존적 치료만으로 호전되었다. 이 증례를 경험하여 간단한 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is one of the most common iatrogenic complications induced by assisted reproductive technology. Hydrothorax develops in about 10 percent of patients with severe OHSS and it is usually associated with marked ascites. On the other hand, severe hydrothorax without marked ascites is uncommon, and its pathogenesis remains unclear. We recently experienced a case of severe unilateral hydrothorax with minimal ascites induced by quintuplet pregnancy following intrauterine insemination with controlled ovarian hyperstimulation. Severe hydrothorax was resolved after only conservative and symptomatic management without invasive procedure such as thoracentesis or paracentesis. We report this case with brief review of literature.
