Diethylstilbestrol-induced müllerian abnormalities, septate uterus, genital tuberculosis and twin pregnancy with term delivery after in-vitro fertilization

Hum Reprod. 1991 May;6(5):690-3. doi: 10.1093/oxfordjournals.humrep.a137409.

Abstract

We report a case of a twin pregnancy at term obtained after five multiple embryo transfers in a patient who presented diethylstilbestrol (DES)-associated cervical and uterine structural abnormalities, a septate uterus and bilateral tuberculous salpingitis. The suitability of in-vitro fertilization/embryo transfer in DES-exposed women is discussed.
