The Evidence for Fertility Preservation in Pediatric Klinefelter Syndrome.

August 2021
Klinefelter syndrome (KS) is a common cause of non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA). Advances in fertility preservation (FP) techniques, such as the use of microdissection testicular sperm extraction (micro-TESE), have improved sperm retrieval rates (SRR) up to 40-50% in this population. Age has been suggested to have an impact on FP, postulating that sperm production may deteriorate over time due to germ cell loss.

- The study analyzed previous research on PET/CT imaging to compare FDG uptake in healthy testes, benign, and malignant testicular conditions.
- Seventeen studies involving 830 patients were reviewed, revealing significant FDG uptake differences between malignant and both healthy and benign testes, but no difference between healthy and benign testes.
- The results suggest that while FDG-PET can help differentiate malignancy, additional research is needed to explore its potential role in assessing fertility and sperm health.
