Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Patients with Kartagener's syndrome (KS) are invariably infertile with totally immotile spermatozoa. Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is considered to be the treatment of choice for patients with immotile spermatozoa. We report the second KS case in the literature from whom immotile spermatozoa from the ejaculate failed to fertilize mature oocytes after ICSI. The role of micromanipulation in the treatment of KS patients is discussed. |
