We report an unusual case of spontaneous ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome and pituitary hyperplasia mimicking macroadenoma in an adult, non-pregnant woman. Her condition was triggered by unrecognized primary hypothyroidism, which regressed after thyroid hormone replacement therapy. This case highlights the need for clinicians and radiologists to familiarize themselves with the clinical and imaging features detected in case of these complications of primary hypothyroidism, which are not well known in the medical and radiological profession. Such improved knowledge will help avoid delays in diagnosis, progression to life-threatening complications, and unnecessary surgery.
我们报告了一例成年非妊娠女性出现的罕见病例，该患者患有自发性卵巢过度刺激综合征和垂体增生，酷似大腺瘤。她的病情由未被识别的原发性甲状腺功能减退引发，在甲状腺激素替代治疗后病情缓解。该病例强调临床医生和放射科医生需要熟悉原发性甲状腺功能减退这些并发症所检测到的临床和影像学特征，而这些特征在医学和放射学界并不为人熟知。这种知识的提升将有助于避免诊断延误、发展为危及生命的并发症以及不必要的手术。
