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.
