| Abstract: | Introcytoplasmic sperm injection was introduced in 1991 in the Centre for Reproductive Medicine Brussels Free University. 201 ICIS children and 131 in-vitro fertilisation children were tested by the same paediatrician at 2 years of age. The mental scale of the Bayley Test was used. The overall results for ICSI and IVF children indicate a score no lower than that of the general population. |
