Résumé

L’endométriose est une maladie gynécologique fréquente dont la prévalence dans la population générale est estimée entre 6 et 10% (1). Elle atteint des femmes en âge de procréer. De nombreuses études ont montré que l’endométriose était responsable d’infertilité mais les facteurs causant l’infertilité en cas d’endométriose restent mal établis. Ceci est dû pour une part à la grande diversité de l’endométriose et au fait que sa physiopathologie reste mal élucidée.
