Zusammenfassung: | To report the first case of monozygotic twins with discordant congenital anomalies.
Descriptive case report.
University hospital.
A 20-year woman with complete vaginal agenesis (Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome) and right renal agenesis presented for creation of a neovagina. She had a monozygous twin confirmed by DNA testing using short tandem repeat (STR) loci; the twin had normal mullerian/mesonephric development but isolated bilateral tibial longitudinal deficiency.
The complete history, physical, and laboratory data of both the patient and her twin. Also, operative laparoscopy with creation of a neovagina in the patient.
Diagnosis and appropriate treatment of Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome and DNA testing with STR loci for monozygosity.
The surgical resection of the bilateral uterine remnants, creation of a neovagina in the patient, and the demonstration of monozygosity with her twin with bilateral tibial longitudinal deficiency.
This case report suggests a link between developmental abnormalities of the genital and skeletal system. |
