Option of achieving pregnancy in males with Kartagener’s syndrome

Kartagener's syndrome is a pathology that affects the cilia and flagella, causing sperm motility problems, among other effects. If the sperm's flagellum is damaged, it will not be able to move and advance to meet the egg. Therefore, a natural pregnancy will not be possible.

However, these immobile sperm do not necessarily have to be dead. Therefore, it may be possible to achieve a pregnancy through in vitro fertilisation (IVF) treatment with sperm microinjection or ICSI.
