Abstract: | We report two clinical pregnancies occurring after intracytoplasmic sperm
injection (ICSI) using cryopreserved spermatozoa obtained from testicular
biopsy, made in two different infertility situations in our clinic. The
first patient showed a secretory azoospermia associated with elevated serum
follicular stimulating hormone (FSH) level and spermiogenesis maturation
arrest. The second patient was affected by azoospermia resulting from
bilateral epididymal obstruction. Spermatozoa present in the wet
preparation of testicular biopsy made on the day of scrotal exploration
were cryopreserved within the testicular tissue for both men.
Intracytoplasmic injections were performed at a later date, using
spermatozoa prepared from frozen-thawed tissues. In each case, three
embryos were obtained and transferred in utero. The transfers resulted in a
twin pregnancy for the first case, and in a singleton pregnancy for the
second. Living foetuses were seen in the ultrasound scan at the 7th week
and both pregnancies are proceeding to date beyond 30 weeks without
complications.
