Pulmonary embolism complicating human chorionic gonadotropin treatment in a patient with type IV hyperlipoproteinemia.

Abstract:

:Human chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) therapy has been used beneficially in men with subfertility especially after varicocele surgery. Very few side effects have been observed in male patients. Herein, we report a case of pulmonary embolism in a male patient following the use of HCG. The patient was subsequently found to have type IV hyperlipoprotenemia. The etiology of the thrombo-embolic episode is conjectural, but this case emphasizes the need for stricter criteria of patient selection and screening for conditions that predispose to thrombo-embolism before starting HCG therapy.
