Objective: To report a case of Fowler's syndrome after oocyte retrieval. Design: Case report. Setting: Tertiary referral center, King Fahad Medical City. Patient(s): A 23-year-old nulligravida with polycystic ovarian syndrome and primary infertility underwent oocyte retrieval for Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI), and developed Fowler's Syndrome (FS). Intervention: Intermittent self-catheterization, insertion of Sacral Neuromodulator (SNM). Main outcome measure: Restoration of normal voiding. Result: Immediate resolution of patient's symptoms after installation of SNM. Conclusion: Fowler's syndrome, although rare, may occur post-routine oocyte retrieval; successful restoration of voiding and resolution of symptoms is possible with SNM installation in similar patients.
