Popis: Early ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome is an acute consequence of the excessive ovarian response to gonadotropin stimulation and has a higher risk of preclinical miscarriage. We reported a case of ongoing twin pregnancy in an obese patient with polycystic ovary disease, crit - ical early ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome and liver dysfunction. This case demonstrates the severity of gastrointestinal symptoms and liver dysfunction that can occur with ovarian hyper - stimulation syndrome. We tried to focus on the pathogenesis of liver dysfunction, which is a rare and life-threatening complication and suggested strategies to prevent similar cases in the future.
