To report a case of infertility treated by TESE-ICSI in a patient with tuberculosis of the seminal duct. A 32-year-old patient consulted for primary infertility with a history of 7 years. The fertility studies demonstrated azoospermia, hypospermia and genitourinary tuberculosis involving the entire seminal duct. After the tuberculosis had been treated satisfactorily, TESE, IVF and ICSI were performed with success. Tuberculosis of the seminal duct can cause primary obstructive infertility. TRA is an alternative when spermatogenesis is preserved. In this patient TESE-ICSI was performed with success.
