Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis during the first trimester after superovulation and intrauterine insemination with recombinant follicle-stimulating hormone: A case report

摘要

An increasing number of cases of arterial and venous thrombosis related to extended use of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) have been reported in the literature [1]. These arterial and venous thrombotic events generally occurred during or after ART, and were mainly related to ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) [1,2]. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) during the first trimester of pregnancy achieved after intrauterine insemination (IUI) with recombinant follicle-stimulating hormone, without OHSS or major thromboembolic events.
