We report here a case of severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome with massive ascites in a 25‐year‐old woman with a history of primary infertility after an IVF‐ET cycle. At the 9th gestational week she presented with neck pain and dyspnea and duplex Doppler sonographic examination of the neck veins revealed bilateral jugular venous thrombosis. Despite prompt administration of low‐molecular weight heparin, pulmonary emboli developed a few days later.
