Successful pregnancy by IVF in a patient with congenital cervical atresia

Abstract

Congenital cervical atresia and hypoplasia are rare abnormalities that generally require reconstructive or extirpative procedures to relieve outflow tract obstruction. Infertility is a common sequel, and only four previous pregnancies have been reported. We report a case of successful pregnancy after in-vitro fertilization in a 32-year-old patient with congenital cervical atresia diagnosed at the age of 28 years. She was referred to our unit and had a successful pregnancy after in-vitro fertilization. Caesarean section was performed at 38 weeks gestation. A healthy male baby weighing 3650 g was safely delivered.
