A FSH-secreting pituitary adenoma discovered after ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome: a case report, illustrating pitfalls in the interpretation of serum FSH levels
Awareness of MRI findings of OHSS is important to avoid unnecessary invasive procedures. When treating patients who have suspected OHSS on imaging but whose serum FSH is in the normal range, it is also important to know that an unsuppressed FSH level despite the negative feedback effect of high estrogen should prompt investigation for a pituitary adenoma as a primary consideration.
