Abstract
Ejaculatory failure and poor fertility are major problems for patients with spinal cord injury, who wish to father children. Artificial ejaculation in conjunction with assisted reproductive techniques has been proposed as a possible solution to this situation. In this paper, we presented the case of a tetraplegic man who fathered a child with the aid of electroejaculation with intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).
