  • Title: [The immotile cilia syndrome. A rare form of male infertility].
    Author: Wolff H, Schaller M, Panhans A, Korting HC, Meurer M.
    Journal: Hautarzt; 1994 Sep; 45(9):611-4. PubMed ID: 7960768.
    Abstract:
    A man presented with 100% immotile spermatozoa. Transmission electron microscopy showed the absence of both central tubules in all sperm tails; the nine peripheral tubules, dynein arms, radial spokes and other structures of the sperm tail were normal. Immotile cilia syndrome of the 9 + 0 tubular pattern was diagnosed. Other anomalies frequently associated with immotile cilia syndrome, such as recurrent airway infections, bronchiectases and situs inversus (Kartagener's syndrome), were not present in this case.
