Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 3
Abstract
Introduction: Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) Syndrome is a rare congenital absence of uterus and the upper two-thirds of the vagina in women who have normal development of secondary sexual characteristics and normal 46 XX karyotyping. Case report: We here report on a 17 years old girl with type I MRKH syndrome. Discussion: Laboratory studies should include, Chromosomal analysis to exclude karyotypic abnormalities of the X chromosome and androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS). Normal levels of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) indicate appropriate ovarian function. On the other hand, Ultrasound and MRI plays a pivotal role in highlighting the exact anatomical details. Conclusion: absence of normal menstruation in young normal looking adolescent female should raise suspicion of MRKH syndrome. Management should be tailored to the individual needs and motivation of the patient.
