MAGIC FOUNDATION PDF Brochure. General Information. What is mayerrokitansky-kuster-hauser syndrome? mayer- rokitansky-kuster-hauser (MRKH) syndrome is an uncommon variation in the prenatal development of the female http://www.magicfoundation.org/brochure/mrkh.htm
Extractions: Mayer- Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome is an uncommon variation in the prenatal development of the female genital tract. Its features include an absent or very short vagina and a uterus that can be absent or immaturely formed. Females with MRKH syndrome have functioning ovaries, normal external genitalia and the typical, 46, XX, female chromosome pattern. Breast development and growth of pubic hair are also normal. Associated renal and/or skeletal abnormalities are common. MRKH syndrome is also known as Mullerian (female internal sex organs) Agenesis (no growth) syndrome (a group of related medical findings). How often does MRKH syndrome occur? The incidence of MRKH syndrome is approximately 1 in 4,000 - 5,000 female births. Although it has been determined that the absence of a vagina and uterus is a result of the Mullerian ducts failing to form properly early in embryonic development, its underlying cause is unknown. When is a diagnosis of MRKH syndrome made?

Hauser, 20th century, Swiss physician), the most common abnormality in the class 1, Buttram and Gibbons classification (class 1 indicating agenesis of the Mullerian duct). The syndrome includes a combined agenesis of the uterus and cervix and upper two thirds of the vagina. The Fallopian tubes and ovaries are usually present. After gonadal dysgenesis, Rokintansky Kuster Hauser syndrome is the second most common cause of primary amenorrhoea. While sonographic evaluation may indicate absence of the uterus, findings on MRI often add additonal information and demonstrate the absence of the uterus or show a fibrous uterine remnant, (which demonstrate a low signal intensity on T2-weighted image). In this syndrome, there is no chromosomal abnormality, and the female usually exhibits 46XX. See agenesis uterine

Extractions: Background : The Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome occurs in 1 of every 4,000-5,000 female births. It is characterized by normal external genitalia, an absent vagina, absent or rudimentary uterus, and normal fallopian tubes and ovaries. When associated with a rudimentary uterine horn, cyclic catamenial pelvic pain may result. The standard procedure for pain relief has been removal of the uterine horn by laparotomy.

Extractions: The patient is a 16 year old white female who had undergone normal development of secondary sex characteristics, yet remained amenorrheic. Her pelvic exam was notable for pain, and the cervix was not visualized on speculum exam. Hormonal tests (estradiol, FSH, LH, TSH, prolactin) were all within normal limits for an adolescent female in the follicular stage. This enabled the physician to rule out androgen insensitivity (testicular feminization), and suggest that a pituitary tumor was not the cause of amenorrhea. An ultrasound exam was attempted (study not available). Transabdominally, the uterus was not identified. An endovaginal US exam could not be performed, secondary to pain. She was referred to MR for evaluation of the pelvic organs. Radiographic Findings:

Patients with müllerian duct anomalies are known to have a higher incidence of infertility, repeated first trimester spontaneous abortions, fetal intrauterine growth retardation, fetal malposition, preterm labor, and retained placenta. The role of imaging is to help detect, diagnose, and distinguish surgically correctable forms of müllerian duct anomalies from inoperable forms. In some correctable lesions, the surgical approach is altered based on imaging findings. Pathophysiology: Embryology Two paired müllerian ducts ultimately develop into the structures of the female reproductive tract. The structures include the fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix, and the upper two thirds of the vagina. The ovaries and lower one third of the vagina have separate embryologic origins not derived from the müllerian system.
