title: The use of ultrasound guided transvaginal probe on the anterior abdominal wall for follicular aspiration in a patient with inaccessible ovaries by transvaginal ultrasound.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the effectiveness of ultrasound guided tranvaginal probe placed on the anterior abdominal wall for oocyte retrieval in a patient whose ovaries were not visible trans-vaginally.
  
  
  METHODS
  A case report
  
  
  METHODS
  Medical ART Center, Nigeria- Private IVF clinic with an academic setting
  
  
  METHODS
  A 35 yr old woman undergoing IVF treatment with ovaries difficult to visualize trans-vaginally having ovarian stimulation pressure effect.
  
  
  METHODS
  Ultrasound guided oocyte aspiration through the abdominal wall using the trans-vaginal probe.
  
  
  METHODS
  Number of oocytes retrieved.
  
  
  RESULTS
  9 oocytes were successfully aspirated using the ultrasound scan guided probe placed over the anterior abdominal wall.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Successful oocyte retrieval can be achieved via the abdominal puncture with the aid of a trans-vaginal ultrasound probe placed on the abdominal wall.
