Zusammenfassung: | Müllerian agenesis (Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome)
is typically described as missing uterus and fallopian tubes with
malformation of the upper vagina. Isolated uterine anomaly is a
rare variant of the syndrome. A 16-year-old female with primary
amenorrhea and rudimentary uterus on the magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) was reported. The ovaries, vaginal canal and other
abdominal and pelvic organs were normal. The patient’s sexual,
physical and developmental characteristics were normal. The serum
follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH),
estradiol, prolactin, testosterone and thyroid-stimulating hormone
(TSH) were also normal. Thus, this patient represents an important
variant of the Müllerian agenesis syndrome. |
