Abstract
Klinefelter syndrome (KS) is the most common sex chromosome abnormality in azoospermic males and its prevalence changes in different countries. Until recently KS patients were accepted as sterile however with the impact of microsurgical testicular sperm extraction (micro-TESE) and good freezing modalities healthy pregnancies and live born babies achieved. Klinefelter syndrome males have a wide variety of semen findings from severe azoospermia to nearly normal sperm findings but mostly in the range of azoospermia and severe oligoasthenoteratospermia. For some social and economical reasons, patients decide to have micro-TESE operation first as in this case. The number of publications and case reports has been increasing and implantation rates and clinical outcomes are comparable with the fresh micro-TESE derived sperm used cases. The use of cryopreserved-thawed sperms of KS patients for intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) could be a choice in especially socioeconomically deprived couples since the implantation rates and clinical outcomes are similar.

Keywords: Cryopreserved-thawed sperms, Klinefelter syndrome, Liveborn baby, micro-TESE
