title: Magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound surgery for leiomyoma-associated infertility.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound surgery (FUS) as a treatment for a case of leiomyoma-associated infertility.
  
  
  METHODS
  Case report from a randomized clinical trial.
  
  
  METHODS
  Academic medical center.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 37-year-old woman with known leiomyomas and a history of 18 months of home-inseminations from a known donor.
  
  
  METHODS
  Magnetic resonance-guided FUS treatment of uterine fibroids, where the dominant fibroid distorted the uterine cavity.
  
  
  METHODS
  Pregnancy.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A viable intrauterine pregnancy, with a full-term vaginal delivery, was conceived after a single clomiphene citrate and intrauterine insemination cycle.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The role of FUS for enhancement of fertility in women with nonhysteroscopically resectable uterine fibroids distorting the uterine cavity should be investigated further.
