Objective: To describe magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound surgery (FUS) as a treatment for a case of leiomyoma-associated infertility.
Design: Case report from a randomized clinical trial.
Setting: Academic medical center.
Patient(s): A 37-year-old woman with known leiomyomas and a history of 18 months of home-inseminations from a known donor.
Intervention(s): Magnetic resonance-guided FUS treatment of uterine fibroids, where the dominant fibroid distorted the uterine cavity.
Main Outcome Measure(s): Pregnancy.
Result(s): A viable intrauterine pregnancy, with a full-term vaginal delivery, was conceived after a single clomiphene citrate and intrauterine insemination cycle.
Conclusion(s): The role of FUS for enhancement of fertility in women with nonhysteroscopically resectable uterine fibroids distorting the uterine cavity should be investigated further.
