Abstract

Purpose

To describe a case of homogeneous macro vacuolar formation in oocytes from a patient undergoing IVF/ICSI over 3 cycles and implications thereof.

Methods

Case report and analysis of cycle outcomes including spindle visualization to determine severity of internal disruption caused.

Results

Characteristic macro vacuoles (>25 μm diameter) were identified in the vast majority of oocytes. Spindle visualization identified that macro vacuoles were not associated with spindle displacement. IVF resulted in failed fertilization. Low numbers of fertilized oocytes were obtained through ICSI. The vast majority of embryos exhibited maturation arrest on day 2.

Conclusions

It is likely that persistent Oocyte Macro Vacuolization is the cause of infertility in this patient. It probably has a biological basis and possibly a genetic cause, resulting in either uncontrollable endocytosis or poor exocytosis and consequent vacuolar formation.

Fehlerkultur in der Medizin – Offenheit zählt!

28.05.2024 Fehlerkultur Podcast

Darüber reden und aus Fehlern lernen, sollte das Motto in der Medizin lauten.
