Zusammenfassung:	Objective: To present a case of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome in which antithrombin III activity in plasma was decreased and in ascites was increased. Design: Case report. Setting: Hospital-based clinic for reproductive medicine. Patient(s): A 27-year-old woman who was transferred to our hospital because of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. Intervention(s): Induced abortion. Main Outcome Measure(s): Antithrombin III activity in plasma and ascites. Result(s): Antithrombin III activity in ascites was slightly lower than that in plasma. Conclusion(s): The loss of antithrombin III into ascites probably caused its deficiency in this case.
