چکیده
OBJECTIVE To describe magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound surgery (FUS) as a treatment for a case of leiomyoma-associated infertility. DESIGN Case report from a randomized clinical trial. SETTING Academic medical center. PATIENT(S) A 37-year-old woman with known leiomyomas and a history of 18 months of home-inseminations from a known donor. INTERVENTION(S) Magnetic resonance-guided FUS treatment of uterine fibroids, where the dominant fibroid distorted the uterine cavity. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S) Pregnancy. RESULT(S) A viable intrauterine pregnancy, with a full-term vaginal delivery, was conceived after a single clomiphene citrate and intrauterine insemination cycle. CONCLUSION(S) The role of FUS for enhancement of fertility in women with nonhysteroscopically resectable uterine fibroids distorting the uterine cavity should be investigated further.

Background: The rationale was to develop an ablation approach to destroy regions of tumor resistant to radiation and thus reduce the time required for whole tumor ablation, while improving overall tumor control after radiotherapy. Materials and Methods: The system is composed of a micro positron emission tomography (mPET), 7T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and a customized MRI-compatible foc...

متن کاملPregnancy and live birth after focused ultrasound surgery for symptomatic focal adenomyosis: a case report.
Adenomyosis is a benign disease whose symptoms mimic those of uterine leiomyoma. Hysterectomy is the treatment of choice; conservative surgery is difficult to perform and can damage the uterine structural integrity. We report the case of a 36-year-old woman who had difficulty conceiving because of profuse menometrorrhagia. An 84 cm3 uterine tumour was diagnosed on ultrasonography as leiomyoma, ...
