Twin Pregnancy and Delivery After Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection Followed by Calcium Ionophore with Spermatozoa from a Globozoospermic Man: A Case Report
Abstract
-
Our purpose is to describe a successful twin pregnancy and delivery after intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) followed
by calcium ionophore with spermatozoa from a globozoospermic man. On the second attempt of ICSI, all of eight metaphase II
oocytes were fertilized with treatment with calcium ionophore. Day 3 transfer of six normally developing embryos resulted in
an ongoing twin pregnancy, and two preterm healthy babies were born in the 33th week of gestation. To the best of our knowledge,
this is the first report of pregnancy and delivery after ICSI followed by calcium ionophore with spermatozoa from a globozoospermic man in Korea.
