Sumario: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.
