Successful pregnancy after in-vitro fertilization and transmyometrial embryo transfer in a patient with congenital atresia of cervix: case report.

Abstract

A case report of a patient with congenital cervical atresia diagnosed at the age of 24 years is given. The attempts to create a neocervix were unsuccessful. Since no signs of retrograde menstruation or haematometra were observed, in agreement with the patient hysterectomy was not performed. At the age of 32 years, a successful pregnancy was achieved after an in-vitro fertilization and transmyometrial embryo transfer. Due to rapidly progressing pre-eclampsia, an elective Caesarean section was performed at 32 weeks gestation. A 1610 g healthy male infant in breech presentation was born. The post-partum period was uneventful.
