[Morphologic acrosomal changes in a man exposed to heat].
In view of a case of primary sterility with heat professional exposure and abuse of warm baths, we have studied the spermatozoa ultrastructural morphology. Same type of acrosomal malformations were observed in spermatozoa following experimental scrotal heating. These abnormalities appears to produce sterility in this case.
