Abstract :Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS) is defined as an excessive response and hypersensitivity to the treatment administered to stimulate the ovaries, which can also occur iatrogenically. It can present a wide range of clinical and laboratory findings. As a result of ovarian stimulation, serum fluid can shift from the intravascular compartment to the third space, leading to complications such as ascites and pleural effusion. This article presents two cases of patients who underwent ovulation induction therapy and were found to have pleural effusion during follow-up, along with a review of the literature. Following an intervention with paracentesis to manage ascites, regression of the pleural effusion and improvement in the patients\\\' clinical condition were observed. With the increasing use of assisted reproductive techniques, OHSS may be encountered more frequently. Therefore, we aim to discuss OHSS, a rare cause of pleural effusion, through these cases and emphasize the importance of determining appropriate treatment and follow-up strategies at the initial stage.
