title: [Genital and extragenital abnormalities in Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster syndrome].
abstract: Only 28 of 51 patients with the Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster (MRK) syndrome had the typical findings of vaginal aplasia and bipartite solid uterine buds. Among the other 23 patients 15 had additional malformations of the kidneys and urinary tract. Eight patients had more or less marked skeletal malformations, especially of the cervical vertebrae. The term "MRK syndrome" should no longer be used for such cases with extragenital malformations.
