A 28-year-old infertile patient initially diagnosed with bilateral distal tubal occlusion was found to have tubal diverticula, subsequently conceiving a pregnancy and challenging the association between these diverticula and infertility.

Abstract

A 28-year-old infertile patient with a diagnosis of bilateral distal tubal occlusion made at hysterosalpingography and laparoscopy was found at a second laparoscopy to have bilateral single diverticula in patient tubes. The patient conceived an intrauterine pregnancy 5 months after discharge. This report casts doubt on the suggested association between tubal diverticula and infertility.
