چکیده

Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare, autosomal recessive disease with abnormalities in the structure of cilia, causing impairment of muco-ciliary clearance with respiratory tract infections, heterotaxia and abnormal sperm motility with male infertility. Here, with a comprehensive literature review, we report a couple with an infertility history of 9 years and three unsuccessful IVF treatments, where male partner has Kartagener's Syndrome, a subtype of PCD, displaying recurrent respiratory infections, dextrocardia and total asthenozoospermia. His diagnosis was verified with transmission electron microscopy and genetic mutation screening, revealing total absence of dynein arms in sperm tails and homozygous mutation in the ZMYND10, heterozygous mutations in the ARMC4 and DNAH5 genes. Laser assisted viability assay (LAVA) was performed by shooting the sperm tails during sperm retrieval for microinjection, following detection of pentoxifylline resistant immotile sperm. Live births of healthy triplets, one boy and two monozygotic girls, was achieved after double blastocyst transfer.

Outcome of ICSI Cycles using Pentoxifylline or Theophylline to Identify Viable Spermatozoa in Patients with all Immotile Spermatozoa

Sperm motility is an important parameter for success in intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) treatment. The sperm motility is due to its tail. If the sperm is not moving, it could be dead or alive. Normal live births have been obtained after ICSI with immotile sperm [1,2]. Various procedures have been applied to pick viable sperm for ICSI including, hypo-osmotic swelling (HOS) test [3], addi...

Different fertilization rates between immotile testicular spermatozoa and immotile ejaculated spermatozoa for ICSI in men with Kartagener's syndrome: case reports.

We report two cases of infertility treatment in couples where males suffered from Kartagener's syndrome (KS) and a total absence of motile sperm in the ejaculate. A total of three ICSI cycles was carried out. In all cycles, viable ejaculated or testicular spermatozoa were selected using the hypo-osmotic swelling (HOS) test. Case 1: In the first ICSI cycle total fertilization failure occurred af...

ICSI outcome in patients with transient azoospermia with initially motile or immotile sperm in the ejaculate.

BACKGROUND In patients with transient azoospermia, few sperm may be found in the ejaculate. We investigated the outcome of ICSI in patients with transient azoospermia. METHODS Records of patients with transient azoospermia referred during a 42 month period were reviewed. If only immotile sperm were found, the sample was incubated with 30% human serum albumin (HSA) before motility re-assessmen...
