title: Term delivery after in vitro fertilization in a patient with cloacal malformation.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Cloacal malformation is extremely rare, occurring in approximately 1 in 25 000 births. It frequently has associated Müllerian anomalies that require surgical correction.
  
  
  METHODS
  We describe here a patient with cloacal malformation, solitary kidney, bilateral fallopian tube obstruction, and didelphic uterus who required in vitro fertilization to conceive.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Careful surveillance resulted in an excellent pregnancy outcome with term delivery.
