Transabdominal Ultrasound-guided Follicular Aspiration in Case of Müllerian Anomaly with Ovarian Malposition

Abstract

ABSTRACT Objectives: To describe the approach of transabdominal ultrasound-guided oocyte retrieval in a patient of Müllerian anomaly and ovarian malposition. Design: Case report. Setting A tertiary referral reproductive medicine unit. Patient A 23-year-old patient with Müllerian anomaly (right unicornuate with left rudimentary horn uterus) and ovarian malposition. Intervention Controlled ovarian hyperstimulation, transabdominal ultrasound-guided oocyte retrieval. Main outcome measure Total and mature oocytes retrieved, fertilization rate, embryo number, and quality. Results Five oocytes were retrieved transabdominally, using percutaneous needle puncture under ultrasound guidance. Conclusion In in vitro fertilization protocols, patients with Müllerian anomaly with vaginally inaccessible ovaries, transabdominal ultrasound-guided follicular aspiration is a safe and efficacious alternative technique for oocyte retrieval.
