A Prior History of Cryptozoospermia Is Associated with a Significantly Higher Chance of a Successful Microdissection Testicular Sperm Extraction Compared to Non-Obstructive Azoospermia.

Background: Our study sought to evaluate the rates of successful sperm retrieval following microdissection testicular sperm extraction (mTESE) in patients with a prior history of cryptozoospermia, compared to patients with non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA).

Methods: A retrospective chart analysis evaluating all mTESE procedures was performed from January 2004 to August 2018. Inclusion criteria involved all males >18 years of age with a diagnosis of cryptozoospermia and/or NOA that underwent a mTESE.

Acute anejaculation, hypogonadism, and fertility preservation in the setting of neurosarcoidosis: case report and literature review.

Objective: To examine fertility preservation techniques in the setting of neurosarcoidosis, and to review the impact of corticosteroid and methotrexate therapy on fertility.

Design: Case report of a patient with infertility secondary to anejaculation associated with spinal neurosarcoidosis, treated with systemic corticosteroids and methotrexate.

Setting: Academic tertiary-care hospital.

Prevalence of Hyperprolactinemia and Clinically Apparent Prolactinomas in Men Undergoing Fertility Evaluation.

Objective: To determine prevalence of hyperprolactinemia and prolactinoma among men presenting for initial fertility evaluation.

Methods: We performed a retrospective review of men presenting for initial fertility evaluation at a tertiary care, academic health system between 1999 and 2018. Men with measured prolactin levels were analyzed to determine prevalence of hyperprolactinemia and prolactinoma.
