ABSTRACT
Premature ovarian failure may be a consequence of gonadotoxic cytotoxic chemotherapy or radiation therapy for malignant or systemic disease often resulting in major quality of life concerns. This is the first reported case in the English-speaking Caribbean using in-vitro fertilization (IVF) donor egg sharing in a patient who experienced premature ovarian failure following chemotherapy and radiation for Hodgkin's disease. The donor's indication was tubal factor infertility. Both patients delivered healthy infants.
RESUMEN
El fallo ovárico prematuro puede ser consecuencia de la quimioterapia citotóxica gonadotóxica o la terapia de radiación para alguna enfermedad maligna o sistémica, que a menudo trae consigo serios problemas para la calidad de vida. Se reporta el primer caso en el Caribe anglófono, en el que un óvulo de fertilización in vitro (FIV) de una donante, es compartido con una paciente que experimentó fallo ovárico prematuro tras ser sometida a quimioterapia y radiación a causa de la enfermedad de Hodgkin. El diagnóstico de la donante fue infertilidad por factor tubario. Ambos pacientes dieron a luz bebés saludables.
