Sterility related to ovarian dystrophy is currently treated by means o
f standard inductors of ovulation such as Clomid and HMG. In case of f
ailure, patients are recommended in vitro fertilization. in our study
of 30 cases of ovarian dystrophy, 9 pregnancies occurred after in vitr
o fertilization. Slow injections of purified FSH appear to produce sim
ilar results but the method is still under evaluation. Our results sug
gest that after say, two years of failure with classical methods in pa
tients with a long history of sterility in vitro fertilization may be
expected to give good results.
