title: Bilateral atresia of the proximal ampullary segment of the fallopian tubes.
abstract: An infertile woman had segmental defects of the proximal ampullae of both fallopian tubes. At laparoscopy, its appearance was similar to that of bilateral tubal electrosurgical sterilization. We believe this is the first description of this congenital anomaly.
