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