Abstract
We have studied the ultrastructure of testes biopsies and immotile spermatozoa from a supposed secondary infertile male. A wide range of tail defects has been described in testes and semen. Among these, tail stump spermatozoa occurs rarely. Although the origin of this defect is unknown, testes sections revealed that damage occurs during spermiogenesis at the latest stages during flagellum elongation in spermatids.Mesh:
