CASE REPORT - Successful pregnancy and delivery following IVF treatment
in a patient with endometrial polyp diagnosed by saline infusion
sonohysterography at oocyte retrieval
Background: There is lack of consensus regarding the management of
patients diagnosed with endometrial polyp in assisted reproductive
technology (ART) cycles. Saline infusion Sonohysterography (SIS) may
provide more precise identification of endometrial pathology without
need for hysteroscopy, cycle cancellation or cryopreservation of all
embryos. Case: A 38 year-old woman with endometrial polyp diagnosed by
saline infusion sonohysterography (SIS) during controlled ovarian
hyperstimulation (COH) which necessitated the intervention where
diagnosis was confirmed after oocyte retrieval. Several options were
discussed with patient who opted for fresh embryo transfer that
resulted in normal pregnancy and delivery. Conclusion: Normal pregnancy
and deliver can be achieved in the presence of an endometrial polyp
during IVF. Performing SIS near the time of embryo transfer did not
prevent implantation
