Abstract

Acute, insulated hydrothorax can be observed after ovulation induction without other signs of hyperstimulation. Usually, it is unilateral, localized on the right side and associated with ongoing pregnancy. We regularly noted a good outcome although the pathogenesis of this affection is still enigmatic. It may recur in the case of a new ovarian stimulation.
