title: Ruptured tubo-ovarian abscess complicating transcervical cryopreserved embryo transfer.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To present a rare infectious complication related to transcervical ET, without prior transvaginal puncture.
  
  
  METHODS
  Case report.
  
  
  METHODS
  Hadassah University Hospital, IVF-ET unit.
  
  
  METHODS
  One patient undergoing cryopreserved-thawed ET.
  
  
  METHODS
  Artificial preparation of the endometrium with E2 and P, followed by transcervical intrauterine cryopreserved-thawed embryo transfer.
  
  
  RESULTS
  After ET, severe pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) with ruptured tubo-ovarian abscess was diagnosed and treated.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Severe PID including tubo-ovarian abscess formation should be considered a potential complication after ET, even without transvaginal oocyte aspiration.
