Primary Amenorrhea, Aplastic Uterus, and a Functional Vagina: A Rare Case of Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser Syndrome

الملخص EN

Background.

Müllerian agenesis, also known as Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome (MRKHS), a failure of female urogenital development, typically results in a completely stenotic or rudimentary dimple vagina, both of which are generally nonfunctional in adulthood without mechanical dilation or surgical reconstruction.

Case.

A 20-year-old Tanner stage V heterosexual woman with normal sexual function since coitarche presented with a chief complaint of primary amenorrhea.

She was found to have aplastic uterine buds, absent endometrium/cervix, normal ovaries, and an unusually well-developed lower vagina, a rare presentation of MRKHS.

We discuss mechanisms by which the anomaly may have arisen.

Summary & Conclusion.

This case thus expands the clinical presentation of MRKHS to include a normal appearing vagina with intact sexual function from first sexual encounter, raising interesting questions about the basic underlying embryology.
