Abstract
|
|
Introduction:
The term micropenis is applied if the measured penile length is more than 2.5 standard deviations below the mean for the age. Early detection of fetal micropenis is important for the etiology and early treatment.
Case Report: We present a case of a primiparous woman after IVF-ICSI (in vitro fertilization-intracytoplasmatic sperm injection), in whom on early anatomy scan fetal micropenis was suspected. The patient had an amniocentesis and the fetal karyotype was 46 XY. The patient decided to continue the pregnancy and was followed-up closely. Severe isolated micropenis was confirmed after a normal vaginal delivery. The baby received Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) for three months without improvement and underwent three operations with partial improvement. Conclusion: This case emphasizes the importance of early anatomy scan and its ability to diagnose malformations including those of the genital system especially after IVF-ICSI. | |
