Abstract
A 31‐year‐old nulligravida woman developed an acquired factor VIII inhibitor associated with severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). She developed haematouria, ecchymosis, and intramuscular bleeding following the severe OHSS. Laboratory examinations showed a markedly prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time and a low level of factor VIII activity. Treatment with prothrombin complex concentrate and factor VIII inhibitor bypassing agent was successful in reducing the inhibitor so that she delivered a healthy baby via spontaneous vaginal delivery. Acquired haemophilia is a life‐threatening disorder. This is the first case report of acquired haemophilia in OHSS.
