    Abstract:
    Klinefelter syndrome is the most frequent chromosomal abnormality in patients with nonobstructive azoospermia. The development of advanced assisted reproductive techniques, such as testicular sperm extraction and intracytoplasmic sperm injection, has provided the possibility of biological fathering in nonobstructive azoospermic patients with Klinefelter syndrome. We aimed to evaluate our sperm retrieval rate by microdissection testicular sperm extraction and to analyse the intracytoplasmic sperm injection outcomes in these patients. Medical records of 110 nonobstructive azoospermic patients with Klinefelter syndrome were retrospectively reviewed. We found that the sperm retrieval rate by microdissection testicular sperm extraction is lower than published reports on other types of secretory azoospermia. The statistical analyses yielded that age, FSH and testosterone levels as predictive factors for successful sperm retrieval.

    The couple from this clinical case consisted of a 55 years old male with an obstructive interval of 25 years post vasectomy, and a 38 years old female partner.Both partners had normal results in infertility workup.Five mature oocytes were injected with motile spermatozoa showing morphological alterations, obtained by percutaneous epididymal sperm aspiration.Four oocytes fertilized, and three embryos were transferred with assisted hatching on day three of development, of which one was a high-quality embryo.A clinical pregnancy was confirmed by the detection of two gestational sacs with foetal heartbeats.Pregnancy was ongoing during the submission of this manuscript.The use of ICSI with PESA/TESA should be considered as a feasible alternative when vasectomy reversal fails in vasectomized men wishing to father again.Case reports like this may inspire the counseling of couples that have suffered from a previous vasectomy reversal failure and support the recommendation of ICSI with PESA treatment, which could allow those couples to have their own children, even in the presence of advanced parental age.
