Conjoined twins in a triplet pregnancy after intracytoplasmic sperm injection and blastocyst transfer: case report and review of the literature

A patient at her 38+ wks of pregnancy as a ultrasonographically diagnosed case of conjoined twin admitted in our department with ruptured membrane. Two live female babies joined at the chest were delivered by caesarean section. The parents refused a separation operation and the mother and the babies were discharged from hospital at 6th post natal day. A review of the literature suggests that early diagnosis by a combination of ultrasound and MRI is essential for management as it provides prognosis for viability and process of surgical separation and also the opportunity for early counseling of parents and termination if indicated.

Summary There has been no report on the outcome of vitrified blastocyst transfer from a vitrified oocyte injected with immotile testicular spermatozoa with only multiple morphological abnormalities of the sperm flagella (MMAF). A couple diagnosed with MMAF returned to the clinic to attempt pregnancy using their vitrified oocytes. Testicular spermatozoa were injected intracytoplasmically, and the following intracytoplasmic sperm injection results were observed. In the second cycle, surplus vitrified oocytes and testicular retrieved sperm were used, but no pregnancy ensued. In the third cycle, a surplus vitrified blastocyst was transferred, and a healthy female child was delivered, with a birth weight of 3050 g and a birth length of 53 cm. In this report we describe a successful pregnancy achieved in a patient presenting MMAF. The successful pregnancy was obtained from vitrified oocytes microinjected with testicular retrieved sperm in a vitrified blastocyst transfer.
