Successful delivery following intracytoplasmic sperm injection with calcium ionophore A23187 oocyte activation in a partially globozoospermic patient.

Purpose: To describe a successful pregnancy outcome following intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) with assisted oocyte activation (AOA) in a case of partial globozoospermia.

Methods: AOA was accomplished with calcium ionophore A23187. Sperm morphology was observed via light, fluorescent and electron microscopy following a Diff-Quik stain and fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled peanut agglutinin (FITC-PNA) staining.
