They are classified into three groups according to their spermiogram and ICSI outcome evaluated for each group and compared with each other.The main results of this study showed no significant difference in fertilization rate,cleavage rate ,embryo quality and pregnancy rate among studied groups i.e., no significant difference in ICSI outcome between normozoospermic group and those with defective spermiogram. Intracytoplasmic sperm injection outcomes represented by fertilization rate, cleavage rate embryo quality and pregnancy rate were identical with no significant differences between couples with defective sperm parameters and those with normal spermiogram.
