ABSTRACT
The most important adverse effect of in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) is the occurrence of multiple preg nancies. Due to the scale of this problem and the seriousness of the obstetric and neonatal com plications, multiple pregnancies remain the number-one complication of assisted reproduc tive technologies (ART). Although ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is less fre quent, it is a potentially life-threatening condi tion for a young woman undergoing ART.
