title: [Empty follicle syndrome as cause of unsuccessful in vitro fertilization].
abstract: The authors report a case, where ultrasound guided transvaginal follicle aspiration was carried out for oocyte retrieval during the source of in vitro fertilization. Despite the favourable situation described by ultrasound and prognosed by serum hormone levels aspiration of oocytes proved unsuccessful even after lavage of follicules. The authors give an overview of the literature of "empty" follicle syndrome, its possible aetiology and methods of treatment.
