a successful healthy childbirth in a case of total globozoospermia with oocyte activation by calcium ionophore

Authors
abstract

background: globozoospermia is a rare (incidence of 0.1% among andrological patients) and poorly understood condition, but a severe disorder in male infertility. this case report detailed the course of treatment and protocol of a patient with type 1 globozoospermia using intracytoplasmic sperm injection (icsi) and oocyte activation by calcium ionophore, which yielded conception and birth of a healthy baby after six previous unsuccessful attempts, using icsi alone. case presentation: a 39-year-old male with normal findings on routine examination presented to tdv 29 mayis hospital, assisted reproduction unit (art) with his 37-year-old wife. her examination was also within normal limits and ovulatory cycle was regular. the male’s diagnostic screening revealed normal karyotype (46, xy) and no y-microdeletion. however, the spermogram was abnormal; sperm count of 14 million/ml with 35% active motility and 100% morphologically abnormal sperm, indicating globozoospermia. ovarian stimulation was provided using classic long down-regulation protocol and 13 mii oocytes were collected. next, calcium ionophore was applied following the icsi procedure to improve the chances for fertilization. the case report compared quantitative procedural and diagnostic screening data, and fertilization rates. on day 5, two grade 1 blastcysts out of 5 embryos were transferred, yielding positive beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (beta hcg), and ultimately a healthy delivery. conclusion: icsi with assisted oocyte activation by calcium ionophore may overcome male infertility where there is total globozoospermia.

A Successful Healthy Childbirth in a Case of Total Globozoospermia with Oocyte Activation by Calcium Ionophore

BACKGROUND Globozoospermia is a rare (incidence of 0.1% among andrological patients) and poorly understood condition, but a severe disorder in male infertility. This case report detailed the course of treatment and protocol of a patient with type 1 globozoospermia using Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) and oocyte activation by calcium ionophore, which yielded conception and birth of a he...

Effects of assisted oocyte activation with calcium- ionophore and strontium chloride on in vitro ICSI outcomes

Objective(s): Failed fertilization after intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is mainly attributed to failed oocyte activation and can be overcome by artificial oocyte activation (AOA). The present study aims to compare in vitro outcomes of ICSI following two different assisted oocyte activation chemical procedures (SrCl2 and Ionomycin) in sibling oocytes of ICSI candidates.Materials and Me...

Successful childbirth after intracytoplasmic morphologically selected sperm injection without assisted oocyte activation in a patient with globozoospermia.

We here report a successful pregnancy and healthy childbirth obtained in a case of total globozoospermia after intracytoplasmic morphologically selected sperm injection (IMSI) without assisted oocyte activation (AOA). Two semen analyses showed 100% globozoospermia on classic spermocytogram. Motile sperm organelle morphology examination (MSOME) analysis at ×10,000 magnification confirmed the rou...

P-97: Parthenogenetic Activation of Mouse Oocyte Using Calcium Ionophore in The Presence of Different Concentrations of Extracellular Calcium

Background: Parthenogenetic activation is a possible way to produce homogeneous embryos with the some ploidy. Probably such embryos could be used in other areas of biotechnology. Calcium signals are known as important regulators of oocyte activation. Extracellular calcium is required for initiation of meiotic resumption and development. Calcium ionophore A23187 is known to elevate intracellular...

Pregnancy after the Calcium Ionophore Activation and Aneuploid Screening Using A-CGH in Globozoospermia Patient

Objective: To report a successful pregnancy after transfer of embryos derived from oocytes activated by calcium ionophore after intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) with round-headed sperms and aneuploid screening using aCGH. Design: Case report Setting: Private IVF clinic. Patient: A 28-year-old patients and her 31-year-old husband, diagnosed with 100% globozoospermia, underwent ICSI, oocyt...

effect of oocyte activation with calcium ionophore on icsi outcomes in teratospermia: randomized clinical trial

oocyte activation (aoa), results in high fertilization rates. objective: this prospective, randomized, unblinded clinical study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of calcium ionophore on fertilization and pregnancy rate after intracytoplasmic sperm injection (icsi) in infertile men suffer from teratoospermia. materials and methods: thirty eight women with teratoospermic partner underwent icsi wit...
