Preterm ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome mimicking clitoromegaly

OpenAlex İngilizce

A premature female infant, born after 23 weeks of gestation through a cesarean section of a 23-year-old mother, was admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit with a birth weight of 600 g. On the postnatal day 103 (corrected gestational week, cGW, 37+4), labial edema and clitoral swelling were observed (Fig. 1A). Blood tests showed high follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing-hormone (LH) concentrations (19.5 mIU/mL [normal range 1.2–12.5] and 35.4 mIU/mL [<7]), and extremely high estradiol (138 ng/L [<20]) levels.
