Abstract
This case reports a delivery of a child with limb and renal malformations following intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). A 29-year-old woman and a 39-year-old man with primary infertility underwent IVF/ICSI-ET therapy cycle. The couple delivered an infant with limb defi cience and renal anomalies. When assisted reproductive techniques are used especially ICSI, the risks of genetics abnormalities should be discussed in detail to the couple and suffi cient informed consent should be obtained before starting IVF/ICSI-ET procedures.
