Se presenta diez casos de hiperemesis gravídica tratadas con corticoides, en gestantes dentro del primer trimestre del embarazo, cuyas edades oscilaron entre los 23 y 35 años. Como antecedentes estas pacientes habían presentado crisis anteriores de esta sintomatología, siendo tratadas con antieméticos (dimenhidrinato, metoclorpramida y domperidona), antihistamínicos e hidratación; de acuerdo a las normas clásica s, con resultados variables. Nosotros hemos utilizado corticoides asociándolos al tratamiento hídrico, tanto por vía oral como endovenosa, habiendo conseguido resultados entre muy buenos a excelentes en el 90 por ciento de los casos, dentro de las 72 horas de iniciado el tratamiento.

The GnRH antagonists (GnRHant) protocol has allowed the use of GnRH agonist (GnRHa) as inductor of ovulatory discharge (OD) replacing human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). An important advantage of GnRHa use in OD is that it significantly decreases the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) due to its luteolytic effect, important in cases of oocyte donors. Objectives: To compare proportion of oocytes obtained, oocyte/embryo  quality, reproductive result and OHSS incidence in consecutive oocyte donation cycles when OD was done with hCG or GnRHa. Cycles with preimplantation genetic diagnosis were compared. Design: Cohort retrospective study. Setting: Grupo PRANOR, Clinica Concebir, Lima, Peru. Participants: Oocyte donors and receptors. Interventions: A GnRHant protocol was used in 43 oocyte donors for 203 consecutive stimulation cycles and OD with hCG (n=127) or GnRHa (n=76) based...
