title: Focused ultrasound surgery of intramural leiomyomas may facilitate fertility: a case report.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe a successful pregnancy after a change in configuration of the endometrial cavity after magnetic resonance imaging-guided focused ultrasound surgery (MRgFUS) for leiomyomas.
  
  
  METHODS
  Case report.
  
  
  METHODS
  University hospital.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 40-year-old woman with known leiomyomas and a history of secondary infertility.
  
  
  METHODS
  Magnetic resonance imaging-guided focused ultrasound surgery treatment of two intramural myomas, one with a significant submucosal component.
  
  
  METHODS
  Change in conformation of the uterine cavity.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A viable intrauterine pregnancy, with full-term uneventful labor and vaginal delivery.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Magnetic resonance imaging-guided focused ultrasound surgery changed the configuration of the endometrial cavity, and a subsequent pregnancy resulted in a term delivery.
